Having blow up lots of guns experimentally, I can tell you that the
woman with the torch lighting the balloon is in the wrong position.

One wants to be to the rear and to the side.

Just to the side is about as bad a position as possible, as fragments
break off and go sideways with enough velocity to go through plywood.

For choosing to fight, one gets the horrors or war, stress, and possibly
death.
For choosing not to fight, one gets subjugation, humiliation, and
possibly death.
Choose your fights carefully.
