These pellets can't pierce steel, cement, or sandbags--they are designed to tear unprotected human flesh. One mother bomb can saturate an area the size of ten football fields with lethal shrapnel. Time-delay fuses are designed to explode some bomblets before they hit the earth so as to kill those sheltered in trenches; other bomblets don't explode until well after the air raid...
