Doesn't seem like it works that well unless you're right near where the sleeve is. Still wouldn't want to be anywhere near a hell fire impact though

Note that even though they call it an FAE in the movie, BLU-82 was just a big barrel of basically ANFO. quote:Fire makes it clean! Speaking of, a while ago I learned about the CBU-55 and how it was a propane fueled incendiary and man now I want to see one of those go off Enh, close enough, BLU-96 test at China Lake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmRASCHJe2Q
