  BLAST
  A-14. This effect is caused by tremendous overpressure (up to 700 tons per square inch). The bomb
  expands to one and a half times its normal size. This effect is maximized with a surface burst. Targets
  include buildings, machinery, and structures.
  FRAGMENTATION
  A-15. This effect extends over a greater area than that of a blast (up to 3,000 feet). The fragment size
  depends on the thickness of case, the case material, and the explosive material. Targets include troops,
  aircraft, and vehicles.
  ARMOR PENETRATING
  A-16. Amount of penetration and thickness is determined by the type of round used. Targets include
  tanks and cement buildings.
  CRATERING
  A-17. General purpose bombs can make unpassible craters in the ground. Targets include airfields and
  highways.
  INCENDIARY
  A-18. Dedicated incendiaries produce an intense, relatively small fireball that is more spectacular than
  effective. Combined effects weapons include an incendiary element that burns intensely for a longer time
  period. Maximize by hitting something that burns. Targets include uncovered supplies and combustibles.
  AIRCRAFT WEAPONS TYPES
  A-19. Aircraft weapons have evolved into complex systems capable of accurately targeting and
  destroying even the most heavily-armored vehicles on the modern battlefield. Below are some of the most
  common types of aircraft weapons.
  GUNS
  A-20. Guns include the 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, and the 105-mm howitzer. They penetrate
  armor and are highly explosive against soft targets. Guns are simple and cannot be jammed and spoofed.
  GENERAL PURPOSE BOMBS
  A-21. General purpose bombs include the MK-80 series and penetration bombs. Explosive weight is 10
  percent to 30 percent of bomb weight. Heavy, forged-steel case to prevent breakup. Blunt-nosed and
  flat-sided to prevent ricochet. Best penetration capability. Good fragmentation with fair blast.
  AGM
  A-22. The AGM-65 Maverick has easy mission planning. Launch and leave, as well as very accurate
  missile. It has low collateral damage and must have fair weather to engage.
