How much gunpowder is in a stick of dynamite?
None. Dynamite is a different product altogether. Originally, it was nitroglycerin soaked into an absorbent powder (diatomeceous earth). Today's explosives use quite different formulas, including varied chemicals- but no gunpowder. BTW, dynamite "sticks" may be 1 inch by 6 inches, up to 5 inches by 30 inches, but most of the explosives that I use are in the form of flowable pellets, gels, or emulsions (similar to mayonnaise)
because the bigger it is, the more thing inside it can hold and the more destruction it will have.
What explosive is used in 36H grenade?
If you are referring to the British "Mills Bomb" grenade, the filler was Baratol- a mix of TNT and Barium Nitrate. Baratol was also used as ONE of the explosives in the early implosion style nuclear weapons.
What team is responsible for assembling bomb crater covers for the mos and taxiway teams?

What is the cost of storing a Hellfire missile for a year?
Cannot give you an exact number, but it is not cheap. There is the cost of a secure storage magazine, security personnel, and provding climate controlled storage. Cost would likely be in the thousands of dollars.
How powerful is a cherry bomb?
A cherry bomb typically has a small explosive charge that can generate a loud noise and produce a bright flash of light. While they are illegal in many places, cherry bombs are considered relatively low-powered compared to other types of explosives.
When where explosives first used in a battle?
Probably some time in the 1100's in China. The first weapons would have been a form of grenade- a container holding gunpowder, and a fuse.
Why did the hiroshimo bomb happen?
Both the Hiroshima and nagasaki a-bomb took place due to japan attacking pearl harbor.
How has the atomic bomb evolved over time?
They have been reduced in physical size, increased in yield, made more durable and secure.
What nuclear bomb was put in hiroshima?
It was a atom bomb. The uranium one and it was called the "little boy".
The Q-bomb was a Superbomb that turned out to be a dud. It's from the film, The Mouse That Roared (1959) starring Peter Sellers. The film is about a poor country that goes to war against the U.S. hoping to loose and collect money to rebuild. Unfortunately by a fluke, they win.
or,
A next generation atomic weapon, suggested in some scientific journals as possible.
Essentially it is a weapon which somehow splits open protons to release their quarks, the subatomic particles which make up protons, in theory releasing masses of energy. (possibly about 1200 times more energy than an atomic bomb of similar size).
Is it illegal to have a grenade fuse?
In MOST places, if the grenade fuse has not been fired, possession requires permits/ licenses. The end of the fuse that fits inside the grenade is a form of blasting cap. Like blasting caps, those can be rather dangerous, and cause injury. If the fuse has been fired, it is an inert bit of metal. Of course, do not take it to school, on an airplane, courthouse, post office, or other governemnt property. If you are not sure, turn it over to law enforcement for safe disposal.

Who invented the flash grenade?

How deep underground do you have to be to avoid a nuclear bomb?
You can survive the fallout by being at least 6 inches below the ground. You will get third degree burns at 8 miles below the ground. Thirty miles You will probally experience great heat.
It depends on yield, height/depth of burst, distance to burst, and quantity and type of fallout at your location. Without knowing all this and performing some very complicated and somewhat approximate calculations, no specific values (like those above) can be given.
Was potassium ever included in bombs dropped on Germany in World War 2?
No. while metallic potassium reacts violently with water, it is mild compared to explosives such as TNT. Incendiary weapons may include phosphorus and reactive metals, such as aluminum or magnesium- but not potassium.
They should also be kept locked and away from children
