Eco-friendly bombs
The explosives commonly used for military and industrial applications generate toxic gases that can pollute the environment upon detonation. To address that issue, German scientists began exploring more environmentally friendly options. Using tetrazoles, a class of materials that derive their energy from nitrogen instead of carbon, they created two bombs: HBT and G2ZT. These bombs are less likely to explode accidentally than conventional explosives, and they produce fewer toxic byproducts.

Finally something that works for both liberals and conservatives.
and it also plants trees in all the corpses!!
yea id feel a lot better being blown up by that instead of a conventional bomb.
Cool. A safer bomb.
Baby steps people, baby steps...
How hilariously ironic.
Bombs are toxic to life, that's the point of bombs.
A slogan for a military contract pitch: "Let's make killing each other eco-friendly"
So, if you can survive the explosion, shock wave, shrapnel, flying debris, resulting fires and collapsing buildings, you will have the luxury of knowing you won't die later on from depleted uranium dust.
Not even anything that good. The stuff replaced is just carbon, so they're likely just preventing a really small amount of carbon dioxide being released, which isn't even noticeable as a difference within the overall effect.
Actually most explosives tend to be grainy, crystalline substances, nearly all the really powerful military explosives have plasticiser mixed in at manufacture to make them smoother and easier to mould or pour into the casings and to keep the grain size down so more explosive can be packed into the same volume (think cup of flour vs cup of potatoes)
the plasticisers tend to ber pretty nasty when decomposed by heat, which happens when the explosions go off.
A smooth textured.... More
How about the shards of metal flying around at the speed of sound?
If everyone got rid of their bombs, then yeah, that would be very nice, but it won't happen. If one nation announced that they no longer have bombs, other countries would infiltrate and use bomb threats because they still have theirs. It would cause chaos, and some crazy ******** might actually use theirs. So bombs now keep the peace, because no one will bomb a nation who has bombs themselves.
Here's an idea--NO BOMBS! Environmentally friendly and human-friendly!
Sure, as soon as the whole world agrees on everything. Oh, wait.
