How would you define the term 'explosion'...

How would you define the term 'explosion'? Could the rapid expansion and fragmentation of a bullet inside of soft tissue be considered an explosion?

Somehow I don't see that happening and I'm surprised Michael Moore of all people doesn't realize it.

Rapid expansion via sudden chemical reaction

Explosions are defined by detonation and combustion. Combustion being the process by which energy is transferred through a chemical transmission (conflagration), and detonation is by physical propagation (shock, as in pressure waves).

Fragmentation is probably the best word for a bullet separating in the body. It devolves into multiple pieces. Dissassembles might also hold true, but that's usually a purposeful or otherwise orchestrated deconstruction, not an uncontrolled breakdown.

I am wrong. It's "deflagration", not combustion. I am a derp.

Explosions involve rapid expansion faster than the sound barrier.

Deflagration is subsonic expansion.

Deflagration is not benned in the geneva convention. The rounds he is reffering to simply arent explosive rounds. No combustion and no explosion.

which configuration? you can use many types of ammunition depending on the receiver you've equipped

Ban assault bolters

There are physical explosions (think of popping balloons)

You're wrong either way (see ).

that's not an explosion at all.
