Your opinion is merely that - your opinion. High explosives surrounded by
ball bearings is a fragmentation bomb. If such warheads were used by
Hezbollah, I doubt they would have used ball bearings anyway - far too
expensive. If I were building one in a garage I'd use high-tensile nuts and
bolts as filling. If I had better facilities I'd use tool steel, cubed.
