Bombs and Explosive Materials
Bombs are explosive weapons that are detonated by a timing mechanism or other means to release a destructive material. Explosive materials, or simply explosives, are substances containing huge amounts of stored energy that produce explosion.

What kind of monkey was used on the Gilligan's Island episode where they had plastic explosives?
Barbary macaque
These vehicles must stop no close than 15 feet and no more than 50 feet away from the nearest rail.
Which is the most available exposive agent dynamite Nitroglycerin or TNT?
TNT (trinitrotoluene) is generally more readily available as an explosive agent compared to nitroglycerin. TNT is more stable and less sensitive to shock and friction, making it safer to handle and transport than nitroglycerin.
What is Rust explosives chart?
The Rust explosives chart is a visual representation used in the video game "Rust" to display the damage dealt by different explosive weapons and devices against various structures and building materials in the game. It helps players strategize the most effective ways to breach bases by showing the required amount of explosives needed to destroy walls, doors, and other components. The chart typically includes information on items like C4, grenades, and rockets, along with their effectiveness against different materials, aiding players in planning raids and defenses.
How do you get explosives in ace gangster?
Oh, dude, getting explosives in Ace Gangster is like finding a needle in a haystack. You gotta complete missions, rob places, and maybe make some shady deals with the underworld. Just be careful not to blow yourself up... or do, I'm not your mom.
What are the purposes of properly using explosives?
Millions of tons of explosives are used each year. As small percentage has a use as military weapons. The largest use is to break rock in mining and construction, and a small amount is used in demolition of structures.
What item usually contains a not-so-obvious explosive hazard?
Soda (pop) bottles have been known to explode and some have a warning to that effect on the label.
What are the least sensitive explosives used by the military?
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.
It is known as a booby trap.
A high explosive is a chemical or mixture that undergoes detonation and has a high detonation wave speed (in the thousands of feet per second).
Some examples of high explosives are nitroglycerine, dynamite, TNT, ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), torpex, composition B, C-4, fuel-air explosive, RDX, baratol, amatol, nitrogen triiodide, mercury fulminate, sodium azide, etc.
Note: Blackpowder is not a high explosive but the US DOT classifies it as a high explosive solely due to the ease with which it can be accidentally ignited. Other low explosives are not so easily ignited so the US DOT classifies them as what they actually are.
Blackpowder and other low explosives undergo deflagration (not detonation) and only burn very rapidly (never forming a detonation wave in the material).
Which of these is a true statement about grenades?
grenades can contain explosive or chemical fillers
Difference between bomb and IED?
A bomb is a general term for an explosive device designed to cause destruction, harm, or damage, typically using a fuse or detonator. An IED, or improvised explosive device, is a specific type of bomb that is homemade and often used in unconventional warfare, such as terrorism or insurgency. IEDs can be constructed from readily available materials and are often used to target military personnel or civilians. The key difference lies in the method of construction and the context in which they are employed.
What is the difference between atomic bomb and TNT?
The difference is the source of explosive energy, the temperature, and the reaction rate:
- atomic bomb, the explosive energy comes from the strong force nuclear binding energy, the temperature is millions of degrees, the reaction rate is on a scale of microseconds
- TNT, the explosive energy comes from the electrostatic force of chemical bonds between valence band electrons, the temperature is thousands of degrees, the reaction rate is on the scale of milliseconds
That is the definition of "unexploded ordinance"(UXO, sometimes abbreviated as UO).
Sometimes UXO is also simply called unexploded bombs (UXBs), or explosive remnants of war (ERW)
There are two different kinds of gunpowder: black powder and smokeless powder, each is made entirely differently.
- black powder - charcoal, potassium nitrate, and sulfur are separately ground and the resulting fine powders are blended by tumbling
- smokeless powder - cellulose containing materials (e.g. cotton, wood, paper scrap) are dissolved in nitric acid making a cellulose nitrate paste; this paste is extruded to make pellets of desired size and shape; the pellets are dried (in some smokeless powder formulas other nitrate based explosive materials are added to the cellulose nitrate paste; e.g. nitroglycerin) Note: there are other smokeless powder manufacturing processes not involving extrusion, but they still make the powder from cellulose nitrate
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the lease sensitive explosives?
TNT (trinitrotoluene) is widely used by the military and is known for being one of the least sensitive explosives. Its stability and relatively low sensitivity to heat, shock, and friction make it a safe choice for various military applications, including munitions and demolition. TNT can be detonated reliably when initiated with a proper detonator, making it effective for controlled explosions.
What type of powder did Suleiman the magnificient maintain?
The armies of Suleiman the Magnificent (the Lawgiver) used what is today called black powder with cannon, and the undermine walls of fortress cities. This form of gunpowder is a basic mix of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal.
How was a doodlebug bomb used?
During WW 2, the Germans used a crude unmanned jet powered bomb- the V-1. This was called a "Doodlebug". They would be launched across the English channel. They would fly a preset direction and time, and then crash into the ground in England, exploding. The accuracy was very poor, they were very fast, and caused a lot of damage when they exploded.
What do you call bomb disactivaters?
Things that deactivate bombs, are called bomb deactivators, I don't think there is a shortened term for them.
