Yes, a pipe bomb is a type of improvised explosive device (IED). It typically consists of a sealed container, such as a pipe, filled with explosive material and often shrapnel to enhance its lethality. Pipe bombs are usually constructed using readily available materials and are often used in illegal or terrorist activities. Their improvised nature and potential for destruction classify them as IEDs.

Can be commercial such as ANFO, Military such as SEMTEX or Homemade exposive like HMTD or TATP S-Switches (Two Catagories mechanical or electrical) Switches usually perform two functions, safety arming & detonating
What are the components of a pipe bomb?
Well, if it is a typical pipe bomb, it is best to use a metal pipe with very tightly screwed in metal caps. The inside consists of some sort of explosive, like a compressed flammable gas, gunpowder, or a plastic explosive like c4 or TNT. It can be detonated by a fuse or electrical wire. When the material inside of the pipe catches fire, a chemical reaction occurs, and large amounts of heat energy are released. Pressure quickly builds up inside of the pipe, causing it to expand and explode very rapidly. It is extremely dangerous to make or obtain these because the explosive material is usually not very stable, and any pipe material is bound to cause some sort of friction that may ignite the bomb. Not to mention the fact that pipe bombs are illegal in most countries.
Non-standard item of explosive or ammunition?
One example of a non-standard item of explosive or ammunition could be a homemade pipe bomb constructed using common household materials and materials found at hardware stores or online. These improvised devices can be extremely dangerous and unpredictable due to their makeshift nature and lack of proper engineering and quality control. It is illegal and highly unsafe to handle or create such devices.
How does the volume and shape of a volcanic pipe affect the explosion of the volcano?
A smaller, thinner pipe can create a more explosive eruption, while a larger pipe can create a less explosive one, though these do not always hold true.
How much is a bomb cost?
