When was gunpowder first used?
when a war was going off !!!and they used gun powder to defend back :)
Are explosives the most common weapons of mass destruction device?
Ordinarily yes, however, when one looks at the heinous attack of 9-11 in the USA, this is where over 3000 people perished when aircraft was used.
Nuclear bombs during WWll and Mustard gas during WWl also killed thousands of people.
Impossible to say, but it definitely happened in China not long after they perfected the formula for black powder. The Chinese first used black powder to make various types of fireworks, including firecrackers. But eventually adapted black powder based fireworks technology to warfare by scaling upward.
No single individual or even group of individuals invented C4, it evolved in a series of changes and improvements due to changing military requirements and operational conditions over time.
C4 was a reformulation of C3 which was a reformulation of C2 which was a reformulation of C1 which was developed during World War 2 as an improvement on the Composition B and Composition A explosives that the US military was then using. Note: C1 through C4 are Composition C explosives. All three (Composition A, Composition B, and Composition C) explosives have numbered revisions, C4 is just the 4th revision of the basic Composition C formula.
The original US Composition A formula was adapted from a British formula for plastique explosive, which was then being supplied to the French resistance (thus the spelling "plastique").
The Nazi stick grenade was easier to throw and use, but I believe the 'standard' frag grenade could be thrown further will skill and practice.
Actually, the German stick grenade was able to be thrown further (quite a bit further, in fact - 40-50 yards vs 15-20 yards). However, Allied "pineapple" grenade was significantly less bulky and lighter, enabling more to be carried. They both worked about the same in terms of effectiveness.
What were the first two WW2 atomic bombs made of?
The first a-bomb called (Little Boy) was a uranium gun-type atomic bomb.
The second a-bomb called (Fat Man) was a plutonium implosion-type bomb.
When do you get car bombs on grand theft auto 4?
you Have to get your relationship with packie high (75% i think) then packie. you will be able to call packie for a bomb then you will be able to pick it up and put it on a car then you can call packie to detonate it.
How many f-bombs are in the movie Invictus?
At least one, Matt Damon says one when the team is in their group meeting. He says, "Come one! Hit the F***ing guy!." So yeah, there might be more, but I think that's the only one.
The development of the hydrogen bomb in 1954 escalated tensions during?
The development of the hydrogen bomb in 1954 escalated tensions during the Cold War by intensifying the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The increased destructive power of the hydrogen bomb raised the stakes in the nuclear arms race, leading to a heightened sense of fear and insecurity in both countries. This development contributed to the already existing climate of distrust and competition between the two superpowers.
During what war was the hydrogen bomb invented?
It wasn't invented during a time of war. It was invented well after the end of WW II.
Richard Lawrence Garwin, American physicist, produced a design in 1952 at IBM Watson Laboratory at Columbia University. This was during the period that the US was involved in the Korean War (1950-1953).

Atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. What's the difference?
The term atomic bomb is a general one, and it can include both fission and fusion weapons. The hydrogen bomb (an "old term") is used in reference to a fusion device. Both are grouped under the contemporary term nuclear weapons, and we generally break down nuclear weapons into two types -- fission devices and fusion devices. The latter can only be set off by the former, so it takes a fission weapon to provide the energy needed to initiate the fusion reaction. Links can be found below for more information.
The difference between nuclear and atomic bombs has to do with the fuel. Atomic bombs use only plutonium or uranium. Nuclear bombs use, in addition to plutonium or uranium, hydrogen. That is what makes them nuclear, unlike President Bush's mispronunciation: nucular. How funny is that? We had a president that had his finger on the button that would trigger nuclear destruction of all life forms on our planet, yet he could not even pronounce it properly? That is really scary!!!
To fully answer the question: It does not really matter, if one happens to drop in your vicinity, the result is the same, the annihilation of all matter, including you.
What is a self propelled missile launched from a submarine?
The modern definition of a torpedo is a self-propelled underwater missile.

Did the Persians use explosives in the Battle of Thermopylae?
Explosives were not invented for another thousand years.
Where are the paper bombs hidden in Naruto The Broken Bond?
They could be anywhere when you see the red danger signs above your head and Naruto says something like "I should be careful". Then you need either Neji or Kiba to do the Byakugan or Beast Mimicry to see the paper bombs.
How many people were instantly killed in the first bombing of World War 2?
Sorry- no way to answer- it would be difficult to determine exactly when and where the "First" bombing of WW 2 took place. Bombing had been used as a weapon against military personnel long before strategic bombing of cities took place.
What is the fuse for hydrogen bomb?
An Atomic bomb is the detonator for a Hydrogen bomb to create enough heat for the fission - fusion chain reaction.
What is the name of the first American hydrogen bomb?
Ivy Mike.
The previous answer, "Fat boy," is a mash-up of the names of the first two atomic bombs used in warfare. Little Boy, a U-235 fission bomb, was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945; it used a "gun" to bring two chunks of Uranium together to create a critical mass. Three days later, Fat Man, a plutonium fission weapon, was dropped on Nagasaki. The prototype implosion device for this second weapon, called "The Gadget" was tested at Trinity site in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. All three of these employed nuclear fission for their destructive power.
The first nuclear fusion explosion ("hydrogen bomb") was tested at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands of the Pacific Ocean on November 1, 1952. The project was known as Operation Ivy and the first test, Mike, gives rise to the name "Ivy Mike" which you can find in a simple internet search.
It is estimated that the percentage of terrorist activities involving explosives is about?
It is estimated that the percentage of terrorist activities involving explosives is around 40-50%. Explosives are commonly used by terrorist groups to cause significant damage and casualties in attacks. These groups often seek to instill fear and achieve their objectives through the use of explosives.
Why is copra cake a dangerous cargo?
Copra is classified as a dangerous cargo because of the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
It is classified as a 4.2 dangerous good (no air transport). Basically, it can catch fire with no external cause.
Yes a Fuel Air Explosive is a bomb, but a very odd one. A Fuel Air Explosive can have the highest possible yield of any deliverable conventional weapon.
The bomb casing is just a large liquid fuel tank with fuse and a fuel atomizer unit (to create a fuel mist). When the fuse determines it should go off it activates the atomizer spraying all the fuel out forming a fuel mist that mixes with air. Then the fuse ignites the fuel, which explodes.
The first Fuel Air Explosive was used in Vietnam, a bomb called the Daisy Cutter, was designed to create instant helicopter landing zones in dense jungle.
