3. The main part of this class is the barrel exploding, which we simply name
   Explode(). Within Explode() you'll find the HurtRadius() function, to which
   we pass parameters for the base damage, radius, damage type, momentum applied
   to the explosion, location, and whether or not it can apply full damage to the pawn.
   Most, if not all, area-effect weapons in UDK use this function.
