Bombs and Explosive Materials

It is called a magazine, from a similar French word that means storehouse.

They are made by both government and civilian companies that make them for the military. The exact arrangement varies from one country to another.

Grenades

Nitric acid itself is not typically used as an explosive ingredient. However, it is often used in the production of explosives, such as in the manufacture of TNT (trinitrotoluene) where nitric acid is used as a nitrating agent to nitrate toluene molecules.

When explosives are on board, strict safety protocols and regulations must be followed to ensure the safe handling and transport of these materials. This includes proper labeling, secure storage, and adherence to specific transportation guidelines set by relevant authorities. Additionally, personnel must be trained in emergency response procedures and equipped with appropriate safety gear. Regular inspections and risk assessments are also essential to mitigate potential hazards.

The F-15 can carry so many different pieces of ordinance that answering this question is like being asked to pick my favorite ones. Since I worked with it, that's exactly what I'll do.

An older piece would be the AGM-65 Maverick, this is an infra-red guided missile and was often guided by a Combat Controller on the ground. Depending on the version they carried from 57 to 136 kg of high explosive.

My new favorite is the GBU-39 SDB, Small Diameter Bomb.It weighs 250 lbs and is carried in racks of four where the F-15 would have previously carried one 2000 lb bomb.

For more information on the F-15 and SBU please see the links below.

Det cord or Detonating Cord does not have a RE Factor. PETN does. PETN is the explosive used inside the DET CORD.

ummm. A USED hand grenade wouldn't exist because, it's only a 1 time use as when you pull the pin it explodes, so therefore you wouldn't get a used hand grenade only the little bits a pieces of one.

Little boy

Dashing through the sand

With a bomb strapped to my back

I have a nasty plan

For Christmas in Iraq

I got through checkpoint A

But not through checkpoint B

That's when I got shot in the ass by the U.S. military

Ooo, Jingle bombs, jingle bombs mine blew up you see

Where are all the virgins that Bin Laden promised me

Jingle bombs, jingle bombs your soldiers shot me dead

The only thing that I have left is this towel upon my head

I used to be a man, but every time I cough

Thanks to uncle Sam my nuts keep falling off

My bombing days are done, I need to find some work

Perhaps it would be much safer as a convenient store night clerk,

Ooo, Jingle bombs, jingle bombs I think I got screwed

Don't laugh at me because I'm dead or I keel you

There You Go

It is good for demolition and blasting.

Sure. A nuke has 3 main lethal features:

1- Blast (high pressure wave). Roaches are more resistant to blasts than a person, but only to a point.

2- Heat. It might be easier for a roach to find shelter from the intense heat than it would be for a person, but if we're talking tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, lil' roachy is toast.

3- Radiation. Although roaches can tolerate exposure to radiation better than people can, they are not radiation proof. Given a high enough dose, cockroaches will die.

grenades, HE, c4, white phos. etc

An explosive device that uses a plastic explosive (Composition C-4) as the explosive. This is a powerful explosive, not sensitive to impact, that resembles gray/white modeling clay. It is based on a material known as RDX that was developed by the British military.

Yes he did in fact he taught him go to make a battery bomb

the difference is that a grenade is filled with gun-powder and you pull a pin and have 10 seconds to throw it and a mine is something that explodes when someone is close to it

Roughly 15 thousand tons of dynamite. A typical stick of dynamite weighs about half a pound. Now lets do the arithmetic (with units):

15000 tons * 2000 pounds/ton / 0.5 pound/stick = 60,000,000 sticks

Roughly 60 million sticks of dynamite.

Not enough.

Yes indeed; Skyhawks played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War.

rocket

There is no one technique, as there is no one landmine. Rather than attempting to dismantle them, the preferred technique is to destroy them where they are found. This may be done with an explosive charge, or an incendiary device that burns and melts the explosives.

The RE factor (relative effectiveness) compares a given explosive's energy to TNT, with TNT being assigned a value of 1.0. Composition C4 is about 1.4- pound for pound, it has 40% more energy than TNT. The RE rating of a product would be listed in the manufacturer's information sheet, or taken from a data table for military explosives.
