Here is some information I found while researching the Mk80 125lb GPLD Bomb. I researched the Mk80, 81 and 82 for an Aircraft supplement I have been working on and off for a number of years.

This might help establish a baseline.

E-FACTOR: 35, 14 average fragment (3 to 300 grains)
DPW: 41,979
BLAST RADIUS;
Lethal: approximately 15.00 m (10 psi, 100% Mortality)
Effective: approximately 30.00 m (3.5 psi, 50% Mortality)
