Heh. Sort of reminds me of a time when during an exercise we were supposed to localize and kill a high value mobile target. We had it located to within a grid square and were working on how to refine the location.

The Colonel in charge asked me "do we have MLRS available?" "Yes sir." "Remove the grid square. Then tell me if we go it." "Yes Sir!".

Did we use this in Iraq 2.0? What is the one that is dropped out of a C130 (big round one, kinda like a big Liberty Bell)?

BLU-82

From my limited time in Aviation Ordnance, I was under the impression a "Daisy Cutter" is made when the extended fuse is affixed to the ordnance. As such, any bomb equipped with the proper fuse is a Daisy Cutter.
