Cavity Penetrating Gas Bombs

By

Reading time 1 minute

I know that this is a bomb that kills people an all, but I think the fact that it features a design:

…[built] on the US navy’s work on high-speed torpedoes, which reduce friction around themselves by creating a gas bubble called a supercavity. …

This is important because it suggests that bombs, like myself, can surround themselves with gas bubbles. These bunker busters pop open buildings by creating a cloud of superheated gas on impact. Quite nasty sounding.
