You can dynamite stones as an example to other would be stones.
They still won't give you any blood. They're stones. No blood up in 'em.
"Would be". As in, "don't become a stone; if I can't get blood from you I'm liable to blow you up instead".
Leaving you with more stones.
Which would be a problem if the dynamiter was trying to minimize the number of stones rather than maximizing the amount of blood, I suppose.
