Which one "holds" more? Which one contains more? There's no correct answer -
it's just my opinion and probably stinks.

On this we vigorously agree: there's no correct answer. And I think, no, I'm

Actually, Dad said they carried and dropped "concrete blivets" out in some
bombing range out West. He also dropped real iron bombs over various parts of
S.E. Asia, but I never heard him say anything about dropping blivets, concrete
or otherwise, there. But you never know. There was some conversation about
ferrying the wing commander's Volkswagon (IIRC) in the bomb bay once during an
extended training deployment...
