I was woundering why the sound from the blast of an HE of about 100g, seems to resonate? Is this due to the shock wave?

Sound reflection off surfaces which are out of phase with the main blast sound.

We should make a thread for short questions like this that don't merit a discussion. Set it up so the posts only last for a few days so it dosn't get huge. something of a 'chat room' thread where quick one line answer questions could be answered.

I like your idea. I enjoy posting oneliners. These should probably not count toward post counts. If I forget my manners and start posting one-liners, I don't care if the mods knock off some of my points. If I last long enough to become a bottle washer, I don't care if I stay there.

It doesn't matter if you get the rank of bottle washer, all your posts could be crap and it won't count for anything!

I remeber in EOD school they wouldnt let us do very large shots on cloudy day due to the fact the sound reflects off them and could crack windows in the next town (1000lb HE)
