I think it was 50/50 for whether it’s shooter or target that explodes.

It’s a complete wild card as to how big the explosion will be. The first book seems to put fairly strict limits on the lower limit (both the shooter and the shielded target die) but the explosion can be any size, up to the size of an atomic explosion.

Leto II owns up to having an ancient king “possessing” him (to a lesser degree than the Baron Harkonnen possesses Alia) right at the tail end of Children. He’s mostly able to preserve his sense of self because of his inner father’s presence, but being pre-born as he was meant it was impossible to be fully himself.

This is stated out loud just after he demonstrates that he can take on the entire universe in hand to hand combat, so there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

They even changed Duncan's death from "ornithopter explosion" to "cut down by 6 sardaukar" to make his resurrection more plausible.

Cut down by sardaukar is how he dies in the first book though?
