HE Explosion
HE Explosion
What exactly does an HE round look like when it explodes? Lets say...a 105mm HE. Does it just thorw earth everywhere? Or is it like a "firey" explosion?

Hi.
Not an arty shell, but a Japanese bomb exploding on the flight-deck of carrier Enterprise:

Most people have wrong impression about chemical explosions, and war movies don't help a bit - gasoline spiced explosions on them look good but have nothing to do with reality.
Average WW2 arty shell was filled with TNT, which developes a black cloud of smoke when exploding. Far too unimpressive for film-makers.
