Those who think that the good ol' Daisy Cutter is a fuel-air bomb are full of camel shit.
This girl is a BLU-82B 15,000-pound conventional bomb, looks like an oversize boiler and is delivered from a C-130.
It doesnt detonate a cloud of vapor at altitude, and it doesn't suck the air outta your lungs... it just explodes big time.
Its lethal range is reported to be 300-900 feet (the guy who says 3 miles has been drinking his bathwater again).
It was originally used in Nam to clear jungle patches for landing zones and stuff.
Nowadays it's mainly appreciated for its shit-in-your pants effect.

The BLU-82B or “Daisy Cutter” was the largest conventional bomb in existence (until the MOAB) and is 17 feet long and 5 feet in diameter, about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle but much heavier. It contains 12,600 pounds of GX slurry (ammonium nitrate, aluminum powder, and polystyrene), and is so bulky that it cannot even be launched in a conventional method. To put that in context, the ammonium nitrate in just one Daisy Cutter bomb is about six times the amount used in the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. Although the blast from this bomb is extremely lethal, it still has less than a thousandth the destructive power of the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima.
Because of the cumbersome size of the Daisy Cutter and its deadly results, it must be uniquely deployed and detonated. It is launched on a delivery trolley and forced out the back of a C-130 cargo plane. The plane itself must be at least 6,000 feet off the ground to avoid the bomb’s massive shock wave. Once clear of the plane, the Daisy Cutter releases its own parachute. Attached to one end of the bomb is a three-foot long conical probe. When this probe touches the ground the bomb is detonated. Because the bomb is detonated before the majority of it hits the ground basically no crater results. However, the bomb still inflicts heavy damage, generating pressures in excess of 1,000 pounds per square inch near the point of impact, and the shock waves can be felt miles away.

These powerful effects have caus...

Probably originated in the late 1800's in American baseball parks. Refers to a fast-moving fowl ball that skids along the outfield grass, ripping through and "cutting" the daisies.

An unguided bomb that contains 12,000 pounds of explosives. Detonated 200 feet from the ground, it sucks oxygen from the air while incinerating soldiers within a 500 yard range.

Daisy Cutter is a generic term for a F.A.E. weapon, a Fuel/Air/Explosive, It is an air released freefall weapon consisting of two parts. Part one is a fuel container, usually filled with avaition grade gasoline, that is designed to vaporize the fuel upon impact with the target. The second part then falls in the center of the vapor cloud and ignites it. The result is that the intire area of the fuel cloud explodes. A typical FAE Weapon can kill an enemy soldier as far away as 3 miles from the point if impact, either by the shock of the explosion, or the emplosion air being sucked back in the fill the vacuum created by the explosion. Casualties have been found with pieces of thier lungs hanging out of thier mouths.
