I think it really depends on the type of Dust she uses. Obviously the equivalent of Nora's weapon in our world would be a grenade launcher, but what are the grenades made of? When she fires them at the Nevermore, they cause some knock-back to it and the shells do explode, but not the same kind of big fiery explosion we would get in our world.

This could mean that whatever Dust or explosive Nora is using isn't as dangerous as the weapon she is using would imply. Sort of like if someone used a grenade launcher to fire sandbags or potatoes; ya it would hurt a lot but not as much as a grenade would.
