Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Bomb shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Bomb offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Bomb at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Bomb? Wrong! If the Bomb is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Bomb then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Bomb? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Bomb and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Bomb wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Bomb then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Bomb site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Bomb, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Bomb, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
(MOAB) bomb produced in the
United States.
A
bomb is an explosive device that generates and releases its energy very rapidly. The explosion creates a violent, destructive
shock wave. Bombs cause destruction and injury to objects and living things within the blast radius by the crushing action of the shockwave (pressure) and by mechanical impact of fragments, including shards of the bomb casing (often called "shrapnel") or objects from the surrounding area propelled by the blast. Also, bombs have been known to kill by the sound of the blast, by the sound waves causing pressure on the body in such a way that may wound and/or kill a human. Bombs have been used for centuries in both conventional and
unconventional warfare. Most bombs do not contain more
energy than ordinary
fuel, except in the case of a nuclear weapon.
The word comes from the
Greek language βόμβος (
bombos), an Onomatopoeia term with approximately the same meaning as "boom" in
English language.
Bombs are first and foremost weapons; the term "bomb" is not usually applied to explosive devices used for civilian purposes, such as
construction or
mining, although the people using the devices may sometimes refer to them as bombs. Many military explosive devices are not called "bombs". The military mostly calls airdropped, unpowered explosive weapons "bombs," and such bombs are normally used by air forces and naval aviation. Other military explosive devices are called grenades,
Shell (projectile), depth charges,
warheads when in
missiles, or land mines.
Experts commonly distinguish between civilian and military bombs. The latter are almost always mass-produced weapons, developed and constructed to a standard design out of standard components and intended to be deployed in a standard way each time. By contrast, civilian bombs are usually custom-made, developed to any number of designs, use a wide range of explosives of varying levels of power and chemical stability, and are used in many different ways. For this reason, they are generally referred to as
improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Types
, found to be a Time bomb (explosive). From a United States government publication.
Bombs fall into three distinct categories:
conventional if filled with
chemical reaction explosives,
dispersive if filled with submunitions, chemicals or other disruptive agents which are spread on or shortly before impact, or
nuclear if relying on
nuclear fission or
nuclear fusion for their effect.
Thermobaric weapons are a type of conventional explosive that draws its Oxidizing agent from oxygen in the air.
The most powerful kind of bomb in existence is the hydrogen bomb, a nuclear weapon with destructive power measured in megatons of TNT (Mt). The most powerful bombs ever used in combat were the two nuclear fission bombs dropped by the United States to attack Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The most powerful non-nuclear bombs are the
United States Air Force's MOAB (officially Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or more commonly known as the "Mother Of All Bombs") and the Russian "Father of All Bombs," (tested in September 2007, is being claimed as being four times more powerful than MOAB)Associated Press. Russia Tests Powerful 'Dad of All Bombs'.
==Delivery==, 24 August 1942 during the
Battle of the Eastern Solomons, causing minor damage.The usual method of delivering military bombs to their target is by
bombing, i.e. dropping them from a
bomber Fixed-wing aircraft. The first air-dropped bombs were used in October 1912 by the Bulgarian Air Force at the Siege of Adrianople. https://www.airforcehistory.hq.af.mil/PopTopics/histechintel.htm Large bombers are often designed with an internal bomb bay. Fighter bombers usually carry bombs externally on pylons or bomb racks, or on
multiple ejection racks which enable mounting several bombs on a single pylon. Modern bombs, precision-guided munitions, may be guided after they leave an aircraft by remote control, or by autonomous guidance. When bombs such as
nuclear weapons are mounted on a powered platform, they are called
guided missiles.
Some bombs are equipped with a parachute, such as the World War II "parafrag", which was an 11 kg fragmentation bomb, the
Vietnam-era
BLU-82s, and the bomblets of some modern cluster bombs. Parachutes slow the bomb's descent, giving the dropping aircraft time to get to a safe distance from the explosion. This is especially important with airburst nuclear weapons, and in situations where the aircraft releases a bomb at low altitude.
A
hand grenade is delivered by being thrown. Grenades can also be projected by other means using a
grenade launcher, such as being launched from the muzzle of a rifle using the
M203 or the
GP-30 or by attaching a
rocket to the explosive grenade as in a rocket propelled grenade (RPG).
A bomb may also be positioned in advance and concealed.
A bomb destroying a rail track just before a
train arrives causes a train to derailment. Apart from the damage to vehicles and people, a bomb exploding in a
transport network often also damages, and is sometimes mainly intended to damage that network. This applies for railways,
bridges, runways, and
ports, and to a lesser extent, depending on circumstances, to roads.
In the case of
suicide bombing the bomb is often carried by the attacker on his or her body, or in a vehicle driven to the target.
The
Blue Peacock nuclear mines, which were also termed "bombs", were planned to be positioned during wartime and be constructed such that, if they were disturbed, they would explode within ten seconds.
The explosion of a bomb may be triggered by a
detonator or a
fuse (explosives). Detonators are triggered by
clocks,
remote controls like
cell phones or some kind of sensor, such as pressure (altitude), radar, vibration or contact. Detonators vary in ways they work, they can be electrical, fire fuze or blast initiated detonators and others.
