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:
“What if there’s nothing up there at the top?
Where are the captains that govern mankind?
What tears down a tree that has nothing within it?
A blast of wind, O a marching wind,
March wind, and any old tune,
March march and how does it run.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
