A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.

Hobo Barrel has 50 health.
3 x Handmade Shell for 15 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.
Cheapest explosive on its own: 1 x F1 Grenade for 60 sulfur, about 4s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A hobo barrel has no soft side, so these are its only numbers. Times are exact for melee and for anything fired: swings times swing delay, or shots times fire rate plus the reloads that forces. For a charge you place by hand it is one second per charge plus the fuse, and that one second is the only estimate here. Melee tool counts assume fresh tools, because repairing lowers a tool's maximum condition each time and that rate is not in the files we read. Vanilla server settings, contact range, no distance falloff.
