nail bomb
Improvised fragmentation device
A nail bomb is an improvised explosive device packed with nails or other metal fragments to maximize injury.
The nails become shrapnel upon detonation, turning a simple bomb into something far more lethal against people.
Nail bombs are associated with terrorist attacks and are designed to maim and kill indiscriminately.
