Even claymores won't do that much. If there is too many people, the shrapnel can't penetrate. You want overpressure to exceed around 26kpa. So of more airblast type weapon - fuel air bomb of similar.

A thermobaric-type explosive might be ideal.

I prefer Sinbad's suggestion. It would leave the infrastructure undamaged...

Well its not a properly enclosed space...and it wont necessarily kill everyone. Thermobaric bombs are considered inhuman. Perhaps a neutron explosive is best. I'd still use the Thermo.

It's one thing to threaten to pk someone and another to threaten to maim/kill.

Not in the slightest... Threatening genocide is ok from one section of the population.... being uncouth and using unpleasant words is not from another.

Yip. Hence fuel-air bomb.


A thermobaric weapon, aerosol bomb, or vacuum bomb,[1] is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion, and in practice the blast wave typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive. The fuel-air explosive (FAE) is one of the best-known types of thermobaric weapons.

Well if we're going that way, a neutron bomb would be ideal.

Would be a ton easier getting hold of a fuel dispersion system and a spark plug, than to get a hold of the materials required for a neutron bomb.
