I know little of explosives, but were I asked to make something 
suitable, I'd drill a hole in some high-explosive, fill it with 
gunpowder, embed a filament in the gunpowder and encase the whole thing 
in steel.

Would that work?

I do wonder how the walkie-talkies were set off.  Would they have to 
include some GSM circuitry?
