Explosive weapons Explosive weapons generally use high explosive to project blast and often fragmentation from a point of detonation . Explosive weapons may be subdivided by their method of manufacture into explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices ( IED ) . Certain types of explosive ordnance and many improvised explosive devices are sometimes referred to under the generic term bomb . When explosive weapons fail to function as designed they are often left as unexploded ordnance ( UXO ) . In the common practice of states , explosive weapons are generally the preserve of the military , for use in situations of armed conflict , and are rarely used for purposes of domestic policing . Taken in combination , Amended Protocol II and Protocol V of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons establish a responsibility on the users of explosive weapons to record and retain information on their use of such weapons ( including the location of use and the type and quantity of weapons used ) , to provide such information to parties in control of territory that may be affected by UXO , and to assist with the removal of this threat . Certain types of explosive weapon have been subject to prohibition in international treaties . The 1997 Mine Ban Treaty and the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions both prohibit categories of explosive weapons for states that have adopted these instruments . In armed conflict , the general rules of international humanitarian law apply to attacks with all types of explosive weapon . The Secretary - General of the United Nations has expressed increasing concern at " the humanitarian impact of explosive weapons , in particular when used in densely populated areas . " The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ) , Jakob Kellenberger has noted that " ICRC ’ s key operations in 2009 – in the Gaza Strip and in Sri Lanka – provided stark illustrations of the potentially devastating humanitarian consequences of military operations conducted in densely populated areas , especially when heavy or highly explosive weapons are used .

Large orders followed , with the production aircraft powered by Rolls - Royce Eagle s . The F . 3s larger size gave it greater range and heavier bomb load than the F2 , but poorer speed and agility . Approximately 100 Felixstowe F . 3s were produced before the end of the war , including 18 built at Malta Dockyard . The Felixstowe F . 5 was intended to combine the good qualities of the F . 2 and F . 3 , with the prototype first flying in May 1918 . The prototype showed superior qualities to its predecessors but the production version was modified to make extensive use of components from the F3 , in order to ease production , giving lower performance than either the F . 2a or F . 3 . The Felixstowe F . 5 was re - exported to America , and re - engined with Liberty V - 12s , becoming the Curtiss F5L . Operational history .
