willcouse, re:I believe I read that the coverage is about 250 yards. More like over 600 yards, as it's bigger than the Daisy Cutter. The Daisy Cutter was designed to kill a large number of troops and programmed to detonate just before it hits the ground, spreading the blast over a 600-yard square (550-metre square) area. When it was used in Tora Bora, military officials said it would have a psychological impact on people hiding in the caves because of the reverberation from the explosion. Eglin officials said they did not know the size of the blast area of the more powerful MOAB. But officials said it was partly a psychological weapon designed to instill fear. alertnet.org
