What makes pipe bombs so dangerous compared to other improvised explosives?
In: 0
Availability of material and difficulty of tracking.
Pipe bombs are not more dangerous from an explosive yield point of view but rather are more dangerous as in they are “easy” to make.
Because of their uniform shape it’s also extremely easy to tape additional shrapnel to the body of the pipe.
I saw a design one time, I do not know if it was ever built, of a pipe bomb put into a Pringles can filled up with 2 mm steel BBs.
Easily attainable, easily usable, and very difficult to trace back.
Honestly I feel that we’re lucky people are using guns and not pipe bombs
