Exactly
Exactly what you would expect from a contact explosive charge. The blast was soaked up by the stone, shielding the other stones. You have a very imaginary conception of blast effects. Have you ever seen video of an anti-tank missile hitting its target? Blast in virtually all directions.
There are some videos of shaped charges on concrete walls ---- at best they blow small holes --- you don't get the moving of large chunks of mass.
Whatever knocked this wall down was heavy and fast ----- and had a running start.
And who says it was a shaped charge? That is what they are intended to do. A big satchel of TNT would apply a huge push and break the stone into chunks.
I'm sorry, but you continue to demonstrate knowledge that is not even applicable to the situation. Which means you don't actually have knowledge.
You don't see an explosion --- you see an impact and debris scattering in one direction.
DeathRay...I enjoy your input all the way up until you start doing this. No need for those last two sentences. You did the same thing to me in a previous conversation. You have good input, but then nullify it with personal jabs.
I was using Newtons 3rd law
Do they "move" the tank? --- or just blast holes in it?
It depends on which effect one is counting. The warhead is intended to penetrate the armor and then detonate within the tank. Sympathetic detonation of the ammunition inside the hull generally creates an overpressure that throws the turret up and out and sets the hull on fire. What happens to the humans is better left unremarked. Tank remains are generally quite pitiable to contemplate. The tank as a whole is not typically moved any distance (although I can't guarantee that a blown turret wouldn't be accompanied by a moved hull). In the end, there is considerable uncertainty as to what will happen.
