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.

How do you get the formula for net explosive weight?

To get the Net Explosive Weight, (NEW) Quantity x Weight x RE Factor= NEW Im not sure what explosives you are using. but this is the military format for explosives. For example 5 blocks of C4 C4 weighs 1.25 lb's/ block C4's RE factor is 1.34 5 x 1.25 x 1.34 = 8.375 8.375 is the NEW of JUST the C4, in your calculations you will have to include Detonation cord, initiators, etc...
