Can a bomb disarm another about to be set off?
Its not exactly disarming, but it can be considered disabling.In nuclear weapons its called "fratricide". One weapon detonating before another close by can disable 2nd because its neutron flux can start the chain reaction in the other before a critical assembly is achieved by the conventional explosives. This gives a fizzle yield (e.g. 10 pounds instead of several kilotons).In conventional weapons an explosion right next to another can detonate it, though this is rarely desirable as the resulting explosion is the sum of the two.With conventional explosives, they are sometimes used to break up a larger explosive device to prevent it from detonating. One such device (known as Candlewick) uses several gallons of water, and a pound of plastic explosive. The water, propelled by the explosive, tears the larger device apart.
