Explosive weapon

An explosive weapon generally uses high explosive to project blast and/or fragmentation from a point of detonation. Explosive weapons may be subdivided by their method of manufacture into explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Certain types of explosive ordnance and many improvised explosive devices are sometimes referred to under the generic term bomb. When explosive weapons fail to function as designed they are often left as unexploded ordnance (UXO).
