	Facts about Nuclear Weapons
		In conventional weapons, the explosive material is something that can undergo some chemical reaction that proceeds very fast and releases a lot of energy.
		The yield of nuclear weapons is usually expressed in terms of the equivalent amount of TNT which would release the same amount of energy.
		For instance, a pure fusion weapon with an explosive force equivalent to one ton of TNT would kill people in an area nearly a hundred times larger than a conventional bomb with the same explosive force.

	Explosive material - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Explosives are classified as low or high explosives according to their rates of decomposition: low explosives burn rapidly (or deflagrate), while high explosives undergo detonation.
		The term "detonation" is used to describe an explosive phenomenon whereby the decomposition is propagated by the explosive shockwave traversing the explosive material.
		A chemical explosive is a compound or mixture which, upon the application of heat or shock, decomposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat.

	Nuclear weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some weapons are designed for special purposes; a neutron bomb is a nuclear weapon that yields a relatively small explosion but a relatively large amount of prompt radiation.
		The detonation of a nuclear weapon is accompanied by a blast of neutron radiation.
		Nuclear weapons have been at the heart of many national and international political disputes and have played a major part in popular culture since their dramatic public debut in the 1940s and have usually symbolized the ultimate ability of mankind to utilize the strength of nature for destruction.

	4.2 Fission Weapon Designs
		Thermonuclear weapon and primary design is discussed in Section 4.4, but the essential feature of a suitable trigger is easily stated: energy must escape from the fissile core into the radiation case (surrounding the primary) very rapidly.
		A thick layer of high explosive surrounded the tamper and core, and this explosive contained large amounts of barium, a relatively high-Z material, due to the use of baratol as the slow explosive component of the lens.
		Explosives lenses incorporating boracitol or inert filled plastic foams may be used or, more likely, the classical explosive lenses may have been replaced other advanced wave shaping techniques.

	Reactive armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lacking these weapons, emulating this effect is difficult as it requires either precision artillery, luck, or close-quarter use of shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons.
		An element of explosive reactive armor consists of a sheet or slab of high explosive sandwiched between two plates, typically metal, called the reactive or dynamic elements.
		On attack by a penetrating weapon, the explosive detonates, forcibly driving the metal plates apart to damage the penetrator.

		This weapon isn´t the right weapon for close combat because then you´ll blow your own ass aways aswell, nor for long range because of its lack of accuracy.
		This weapon should be used in medium range combat, and isn´t a good weapon for multiplayergames due to its reload time and limited ammo.
		The accuracy of this weapon isn´t any different from the M1, but is loads after every shot, which make it a slow weapon, not usefull for close combat.

	Walleye Guided Weapon
		The weapon has provisions for 14- and 30-inch suspensions, and an ejector foot pad that is used to adapt the weapons to various types of aircraft bomb racks.
		The weapon uses aircraft electrical power (via an umbilical cable that connects the weapon to the aircraft) from the time electrical power is applied to the aircraft until the aircraft reaches a speed of approximately 180 knots.
		The three channels prevent the control section of the weapon from responding to override (steering) commands from a pod that is not set to that weapon's specific frequency channel.

	Phoenix Command Weapon Design
		It appears (pretends?) to be based on actual weapon capabilties, but to a fairly large its values seem to have been created by plugging research data into formulas, and then fudged around a bit to create the numbers that formulas can't come up with easily.
		Refer to a weapon firing the same caliber and type of ammunition as the weapon you are designing, and copy the BA data from there.
		These weapons are essentially combinations of normal ranged weapons and explosive weapons, and so their design is a combination of the rules sets for Firearms Design and Explosive Weapon Design, above.

	COMBAT
		Also explosives can be used to get creatures round corners because of the blast radius, or with some weapons, lobbed over obstructions and fired "blindly" (with a -8 hit penalty), the intention being that the destructive radius will hurt or kill the enemy.
		The explosive lands short by 4 metres, normally the High Explosive does 11d6 hp, but since it's 4 metres away this is reduced by 2 dice, so it does 9d6 hp damage.
		Incendiary weapons are fired at an area, just like explosive weapons, and the "misses" rules also apply.

		A variety of explosive mixtures based on traditional high explosives (such as TNT and RDX) can be used for the explosive filler, though much more powerful polymeric explosives or explosives whose constituents are mixed down to the molecular level are now under study.
		When the explosive charge is detonated, much of the force of the explosion is focused through the hollow as a directed jet that punches a hole through armor.
		As handling such a small weapon was inconvenient, and dropping quantities of small bombs from high altitude was wildly inaccurate, it was designed to be incorporated into an "aimable cluster", a type of finned cluster bomb that contained 38 of the M-69 firebombs.

	F-16.net :: Crash program at Eglin produced non-explosive weapon used in Iraq
		A new "passive" weapon without explosives was developed in only 98 days and used in Iraq to destroy some targets while limiting unintended collateral damage to people and structures in populated areas, an Air Force official said Thursday.
		The weapon is a canister that's dropped from jets and opens in the air, flinging hundreds of "penetrators" - tungsten and steel rods, each weighing from an ounce to little more than a pound.
		The passive weapon and secrecy surrounding it are in sharp contrast to the Massive Ordnance Air Blast, a 21,000-pound bomb, also quickly developed and tested with much fanfare at Eglin just before the war began.

		American weapons experts say their immediate concern is that the explosives could be used in major bombing attacks against American or Iraqi forces: the explosives, mainly HMX and RDX, could produce bombs strong enough to shatter airplanes or tear apart buildings.
		The explosives could also be used to trigger a nuclear weapon, which was why international nuclear inspectors had kept a watch on the material, and even sealed and locked some of it.
		Administration officials say they cannot explain why the explosives were not safeguarded, beyond the fact that the occupation force was overwhelmed by the amount of munitions they found throughout the country.

		In any case, the explosive power of a nuclear weapon designed and built by terrorists would probably be measured in the tens of kilotons at most.
		Uranium enriched to 90 percent and above is considered "weapons-grade." A gun-type weapon uses chemical explosives to "shoot" one subcritical mass of HEU into another at high speed, much as a bullet is shot from a gun.
		Because boosted fission and thermonuclear weapons are much more difficult to design and manufacture than fission weapons, it is extremely unlikely that terrorists would be able to build them without active assistance from a nuclear-weapon state.
