Uh
So they turned it into an inverse frag grenade?

The statue still exists, so I guess it worked out.

I have a rock that keeps away sharks and bears if your interested in buying it, I've always had it and have never been attacked by either thus proving it works. /s

I didn't say it worked, I said it worked out.

Would you care to read the article? They weren't thin walled capsules, they were cairns. It made it so the statues were a solid block of material. There would be no or little fragmentation or spalling effect towards the statue.

To be fair, I believe they posted that before my edit.
