Though the charge is smaller it is more deadly because they are more accurate and are deployed in great numbers. Depth charges have to be larger because they are like artillery weapons that deal indirect damage. A depth charge is a realative shot in the dark. A hedgehog is more like a grenade than a piece of artillery. They are directed and are easier to observe. Theres no chance of getting a false positive with a hedgehog. The charge needs only be small by comparison because it is only going to detonate when in direct contact with a subs hull which is like a point blank shot.

Overall its spooky when you consider the realities of this weapon.
