Explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives?
Composition C-4. It consists of RDX in a plasticizer, and takes significant shock to detonate.
What type of explosive is the least sensitive explosives?
Several of the plastic explosives based on RDX, such as Composition C4 are relatively insensitive. And there are specialized explosives developed for use in deep oil well bores that stand up well to very high temperatures and pressures. However, at normal temperatures and pressures, the LEAST sensitive group of products are probably blasting agents, such as a mix of ammonium nitrate and #2 diesel fuel. Unless compacted, these will not reliably detonate from a blasting cap, and require a high explosive "booster" to donate enough energy to cause detonation.

What are the least sensitive explosives used by the military?
Probably ammonium Nitrate charges used for engineering tasks such as cratering. Those charges cannot be reliably detonated by a blasting cap alone, but require the use of a booster explosive to make them shoot.
Which ECM can store the least amount of ammunition and explosives?
Arch magazine
What part of your body is least sensitive to radiation?
Science has proved that the nervous system is the least sensitive to radiation. Blood forming organs like marrow are the most sensitive.
Different parts of your body are differently sensitive to touch What if your tongue is most sensitive Where are you least sensitive?
Back of the sholders
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives.?
While we use several, you are probably thinking of Composition C4. It is composed of RDX explosive in a mix of a plastic binder. In Great Britain it is called PE-4. It is a low sensitivity explosive with high energy.
Which body areas least sensitive to touch?
forearm
