The bursting radius is the distance from a device that may cause wounds. The lethal radius is the distance that will cause death to 50% of persons exposed. A White Phosphorus hand grenade has a bursting radius of about 35 meters- it will not kill 50% of all persons within 35 meters. The 40mm HE grenade launcher projectile has a 5 meter lethal radius- it will kill 50% of the people that are within 5 meters when it detonates.

What are the differences between the following types of explosive radii as well as any other types you know of blast lethal bursting kill danger?

Different munitions will produce different effects. Those includes blast ( a pressure wave) and fragments that have sufficient mass and speed to produce wounds. Those would be the distance at which blast or blast and fragments are capable of causing harm. Some grenades project materials that can cause injury. Famous for this was the US White Phosphorous grenade, which would throw particles of WP further than you could throw the grenade- which meant you were inside the bursting radius. The kill radius is generally the distance at which there is a 50/50 chance of a fatal wound. The danger radius might be included for munitions not intended to be lethal, but could cause injuries if you were too close (flash-bang grenades). we used to joke that 81 mm mortar illumination rounds had a casualty radius of 1. Not one foot, or 1 meter- just one- since when it deployed overhead, the metal casing would fall- and if you were unlucky enough, you would get clobbered by a 2 pound chunk of metal.
