    The trick is that explosives react to form pretty much exclusively gasses. That’s where the boom comes from - suddenly you have gasses at the density of a solid, and clearly that corresponds to a lot of pressure by PV=nRT, as well as just common sense about how heavy gas normally is. Batteries tend to be full of stuff that doesn’t like to be gas, so you get more of a firey, sparky effect than “poof”.

    The explosions pictured look very clean, and at this point it has pretty much come out how they made booby trapped devices seem like a legit product that Hezbollah should buy.
