SAVE NOW! Only 3 instalments!!

How we can save innocents with greater fire power!

So according to this post, the military has developed an explosive material for munitions that is capable of exerting up to 5x the kinetic damage that the current munitions cause. Yet, by doing this we can decrease civilian casualty levels! It sounds pretty magical to me!!

So what they are saying is...the explosion will be more direct and larger, thus somehow reducing collateral damage while increasing catastrophic damage? I like that logic. So if we can make our rounds explode more forcefully outright instead of just hitting something them exploding for lamer damage totals we not only get to obliterate the target with some button combo power up found in Nintendo Power, but it also emits a Mother Teresa like aura of militant saintism to protect children and women and elderly.

Somehow this logic eludes me...but then again, it's the military. I guess I don't know any better.

I think by that logic...the atomic bomb would only have killed military targets and most of the residents of Nagasaki and Hiroshima would not have been incinerated. That munition too was made of special combinations of different metals that exploded with a concentrated reaction on impact with the target, releasing a great amount of energy compared to a standard munition of similar size...perhaps as much as 1000x more (that's like the 10-string from hell!).

Perhaps I am misunderstanding...maybe the real benefit of this round is that the casing it's self is consumed in the explosion where as normally fragments of the casing would fly everywhere in a hail of shrapnel. So instead when we hit the school on accidentpurpose all of the students/terrorists in training will be vaporized or left completely un-phased...accept for the idea that the round does 5x the explosive damage there by just blowing everyone up instead of hitting the people further away with some shrapnel, possibly causing them to have an uncomfortable existence with various levels of alloy imbedded in them. Yes...this seems much more humane. Just incinerate them and get it over with instead of letting them go through hours of painful surgery and months of painful recovery.
