I stumbled upon range and orange just a bit ago, but even using that causes some odd deletion patterns. I can't get it to delete every object within one square of it.
obj/missile
    icon = 'tiles.dmi'
    icon_state = "missile"
    density = 1
    Bump(obj/O)
        for(var/obj/Q in range(1,O))
            del(Q)
        del(src)

The problem is that the missile is deleting itself, cutting the proc short. Instead of del(Q) I'd put in this line:
if(Q != src) del(Q)
Or, you can just subtract src from range(1,O). Either way will work.
