The fact that it doesn't do that 'in reality' means nothing. What it does in the game tends to be what it does in movies, and what it does in fiction is blow up big and loud.So the problems are: cost for damage; ease of buying; ease of making; ease of use by low level people; flexibility of use.Explosives are just really useful, and really cheap ones really useful. That's the gist of it.Adding in 'can't do this because in reality chemistry' is a possibility, and you can only hope they'll buy it.</blockquote>
