A blast radius is the distance from the source that will be affected when an explosion occurs. A blast radius is often associated with, but not limited to, bombs, mines, explosive projectiles (propelled grenades), and other weapons with an explosive charge.
For instance, a 2000 pound Mk-84 bomb has a blast radius of 400 yards (365 metres).
Another example of a blast radius was Jadeveon Clowney's thundercocking of Michigan running back Vincent Smith. The impact of the assault launching Smith's helmet 15 ft through the air before bouncing at least 6 more feet away. It can be properly deduced that direct impact from pure unadulterated weapons grade nog has a blast radius of at least 21 feet (7 meters)
Famous quotes containing the word blast:
“You know, if this is Venus, or some other strange planet, we’re liable to run into some high-domed characters with green blood in their veins who’ll blast at us with their atomic death rayguns, and there we’ll be with these—these poor old-fashioned shootin’ irons.”
—Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
