The 7/7 london devices did not contain shrapnel.

They didn't have to. The enclosed spaces provided the killing power and shrapnel. But this was in the open. Need shrapnel to kill unless you're only after a half dozen folks on the blast pressure. I've had a 3/4 stick of TNT go off right next to me with no ill effects, but a slight ear ringing for a short while. But had that artillery simulator been wrapped in nails, I'd have been shredded.
