Probably not, if point fire weapons were not suitable, for whatever reason...But 20 500lber's might be.

I once salvoed 72 17lb warheads (2.75 in rockets) into the largest buddhist Monastery in the world, the rest of my platoon followed suit! We demolished it, totally excessive force, but a worthy effort, none the less!!
