Anyone else noticed the limitations to the blast radius of the
pipebombs?

On level 1, I can place one in the holoduke alcove in the arcade,
reopen the door to it, stand in front and detonate... no damage
incurred.  Also, I've placed one on the arcade game with the seat,
between the seat and the monitor, stood right there and detonated.
Again, no damage.

Seems the blast radius of the pipes is limited by ANY obstructions,
i.e: if there are surfaces six inches (game dimensions) to either side
of the bomb, the blast won't radiate more than six inches in ANY
direction.

This killed many of my sneaky ideas.
