Explosive efficiency refers to the effectiveness of an explosive material in converting stored energy into a high-energy blast or shock wave when detonated. It is typically measured by the amount of work done per unit mass of explosive used. A more efficient explosive will produce a greater output of energy per unit of input.
Egress explosive items are explosives that are considered in the calculation of the net explosive weight (NEW) for a licensed explosive storage facility or area. These items include detonators, blasting caps, and other small explosives that are used to initiate larger explosive charges. Counting egress items helps ensure that the total explosive weight stored is accurately accounted for and compliant with regulations.
Shaped charges and directional fragmentation charges are both explosive devices designed to focus their blast effects in a specific direction. They achieve this by using a shaped casing or liner to direct the explosive force towards the target, maximizing the destructive power in that direction. Both types of charges are commonly used in military applications for their effectiveness in penetrating armor and structures.

The abbreviation RDX is used for many words and phrases. These words and phrases include cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, Research Department Explosive, Royal Demolition Explosive, rapid detonating explosive, Reflex Data file, and Research and Development Xtreme.
dynamite comes to mind
Carbonite was used as an explosive in coal mines because it was the safest material to use. This is due to the fact that most of the carbon is bound into carbon monoxide.
Explosive land mines were first used in Asia in 1277 AD. In Europe the first landmine was created by a Spanish soldier, Pedro Navarro at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The first modern, highly explosive, anti-personnel land mines were used during the American Civil War.

The first Atom Bomb dropped on Hiroshima was called "Little Boy". It weighted about 9,700 pounds and used about 141 pounds of Uranium-235 to generate an explosive blast roughly equal to about 15,000 tons (or 30 million pounds) of conventional TNT explosive. The second Atom Bomb dropped was on Nagasaki. It was called "Fat Man". It weighed about 10,300 pounds and used about 14 pounds of Plutonium-239 & 240 to generate an explosive blast roughly equal to about 21,000 tons (or 42 million pounds) of conventional TNT explosive.
False.... The Oklahoma City bombings utilized a "low yield" explosive (ANFO) which is typically used in mining to move material. A 'high" explosive, like dynamite, is used to blast and fracture material.
Land mines are explosive devices buried underground, designed to cause injury or damage to soldiers, or to vehicles that roll over them. They are used to deny passage across terrain in times of war, but are frequently left buried for years after wars end, representing potential death for unfortunate civilians and their domestic animals. The high-explosive charges and fragmentation sections can kill or maim in any number of ways. The shock wave can blast off extremities (arms, legs) and cause internal injuries. The fragments can cause severe or fatal wounds at some distance from the blast. "Misplaced" or forgotten land mines kill and severely injure thousands of innocent individuals each year, but little has been done to improve controls over the use of these weapons. Many have been laid down by individuals or units who are unable to properly chart or track them, or placed indiscriminately by guerrillas and terrorists.
Diamond mines are used for mining diamonds.
Clinique foundations are used by millions of women today. These foundations are applied to the face and can be used to hide any blemishes or other aesthetic issues.
Fermium is not inherently explosive. It is a radioactive element that is highly unstable and not found in nature. It is primarily used for research purposes and has not been used in explosive applications.
HBX-3 is an explosive mixture of RDX, TNT, powdered aluminum, calcium chloride, and a special wax. It's used mostly in warheads that are carried by submarines and in underwater mines and depth charges.
Nitroglycerin (but not as an "explosive").
