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.

Would the world be abetter place if all explosives were banned?

No.....because if they banned explosives, then we will have no fireworks :( x :) More importantly, even outside of military use, explosives are critical for modern civilization. Explosives are used extensively in the mining for minerals, and in drilling and extraction of various fossil fuels. They are also used in both construction and demolition of buildings and other infrastructure. Making explosives illegal to use would make many of these tasks harder, more expensive, and often much more dangerous, and some tasks are simply not doable without using explosives.
