pipe bombs
Improvised cylindrical weapons
A pipe bomb is a homemade explosive device made from a sealed section of pipe filled with explosive material.
The rigid container causes pressure to build rapidly, creating dangerous fragmentation when detonated.
Pipe bombs are associated with terrorism, assassination attempts, and amateur bombmaking—crude but potentially lethal weapons constructed from hardware-store materials.
