I don't think the shockwave + vacuum effect really needs to be exploited. The larger DPW per unit mass is just simpler and gets the job done.

I may have to look more thoroughly into this later.
See that is part of it....... Everything takes burn damage, if only a flash burn...... but, it is the nasty out then in shearing forces of the vacuum effect.

I was thinking of one set of damage for the explosion..... then more damage, possibly half that of the original DPW, as the atmosphere rushes back in.
