It's not that at all. It's testing protection, safety systems, effects of weapons. Like, yeah, we know it goes boom, but is it doing more of this than that, etc? Is it more shrapnel than blast? Is it properly effective? Does this armor adequately protect this body part? Etc.

As a former Combat Engineer, I GREATLY appreciate all of the families that, intentional or not, helped with the studies that led to better protections agianst IEDs and other explosive devices.

It was thanks to their sacrifice that I dont have soup for brains.
