Pipe bomb is as dangerous as hand grenade
A pipe bomb is a type of improvised explosive device (IED). According to many reports, these bombs are used by Pakistani terrorist organizations operating in South Asia. Terrorists have also attacked the Indian Army many times with pipe bombs. According to the US Department of Homeland Security, a pipe bomb can destroy a minimum distance of 21 m (69 ft) and a maximum distance of 366 m (1,201 ft). If the explosive is filled in a large amount in a pipe bomb and at the same time shrapnel is set around it, then it is not less than a grenade. How much area the pipe bomb will affect depends on the explosive filled in it.
