What Is The Most Explosive Material In The World?
C4 or an atomic bomb - just get some c4 light it on fire and stomp it or get your knife and cut and atom in 2
What is Semtex?
It is a moldable ( maleable ) plastic explosive it is just like c4, and is made of PETN and RDX. there are a few types of semtex- semtex H, Semtex A, and another type of semtex is used fo blasting. it is moldable like c4 is is plastic like c4.
What happens if you blow up half an ounce of C4?
You find yourself with half an ounce less C4 than you started out with.
What are the disadvantages of C-4 explosive?
Nothing, really. C4 is quite powerful, easily made and obtained, and getting it ready for denotation is not an hassle. About the only disadvantage in my book is mostly power. In combat, C4 isn't always efficient and is usually replaced with TNT or ammonium nitrate. But C4 is a useful bomb for collapsing old buildings and other unwanted structures.
What is the main ingrediant to c4 explosives?
C-4 (composition 4) is one of the popular plastic explosive(explosive chemical mix with plastic binder). It has 2 important advantages:The explosive material which coated with plastic binder will make it less sensitive to heat and shock. Since it is stabilized, it is relatively safe to handle C-4. Only detonator or blasting cap can trigger the reaction. Lighting the C-4 with a match will just make it burn slowly, like a piece of wood. (In Vietnam, soldiers actually burn C-4 as an improvised cooking fire.) Even shooting the explosive with rifle won't trigger the reaction.C-4 material is highly flexible. It can be molded into different shapes to change the direction of the explosion.Explosive material in C-4 is cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (royal demolition explosive / RDX). Cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine was first prepared in 1899 from nitric acid and methenamine by Henning. The flow chart below (Please refer to reference below) shows the synthesis method uses methenamine (hexamethylenetetramine).Besides the method above, cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine can also be synthesized from formaldehyde, ammonium nitrate and acetic anhydride. (Method developed by Ross and Schiessler' in 1940's)Normally, C-4 is made up of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer and, usually, marker or taggant chemicals such as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source. In 2004, Kenneth E. Lee discovered a reformulation of composition C-4 explosive for superior energetic performance and flexibility. (US Patent: 6887324)Reference:How C4 explosive is made.

What is the C4 in MW3?
it's an explosive
What are the ingredients of c4?
C4 is made of an explosive called RDX with a coating of plastic over it. Think of it as an explosive in a block of plastic as a container.
What is in c4?
C4 is basically the explosive called RDX coated in a plastic binder. The role of the plastic binder is to both coat and protect the RDX, and also make the explosive malleable. Think of C4 as just an explosive in a plastic container.
Is c4 deadly?
Yes. It is a high explosive.
What explosive smells like marzipan?
C4
What contains an explosive charge beginning with c?
C4
How does C4 work?
C4 is an explosive compound known as RDX that is coated with a plastic binder. The plastic basically serves as both an protector for the explosive, and as an malleable feature for it. Since the explosive has a coating of plastic over it, to set off C4, a blasting cap or wire is usually inserted into the explosive, and a jolt of electricity sent through it to set the RDX off.
What explosive smells like almonds?
C4 is most common
When was c4 invented?
C-4 explosive was developed in the early 1960s, specifically in 1963, by the U.S. Army as a replacement for the less stable Composition B explosive.
What do C4 do?
C4 is an plastic explosive commonly used to demolish (blow up) old buildings and other unwanted structures. It's not commonly used or at all used in combat because it is a somewhat unwieldy explosive.
