Re: Booby traps, IEDs, and Immobilization
16 inch Naval Gun = Warhead Size 22, HE Pen 10, HE Kill 71
2000# Bomb = Warhead Size 96, HE Pen 120, HE Kill 192
IED = Warhead Size 96, HE Pen 3, HE Kill 192
IEDs have the same blast radius as a 2000# bomb, considerably less ability to penetrate armor, and the same lethality vs unarmored targets.
So, yes, they're deadly. More of a van sized bomb then more "typical" artillery shell/500# bomb size.
