Exploding bolts? In a submarine? How about a cyanide capsule, instead? That way your survivors don't have to waste all that time looking for pieces of you to bury. Vance I strongly agree with Vance on this idea. In my opinion there is no place 
for anything that explodes 
on a PSub. I have seen these types of bolts in my time in the military, and 
they do explode. 
I would think getting them would be difficult and making them 
illegal. 
I feel the only way is a good well thought out design. 
And now on that subject the k boats design I feel have a draw back.  
With the need to swing the weights to release, I can think of a scenario 
that it would be a 
problem. If the sub was on bottom and negative buoyant in the rear, as a BT 
was ruptured and 
or being entangled in the rear, releasing the rear will not allow the sub 
to rise and hence 
releasing the weight. I know this is a reach but I do try to think about 
any problem that could  
occur and a solution.
