 C-4 (explosive) - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
C-4 is made up of explosive, binder, plasticizer and (lately) marker or taggant chemicals, such as 2, 3-dimethyl-2, 3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source.
As in many plastic explosives the explosive material in C-4 is RDX (Cyclonite, cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) which makes up around 91% of the C-4 by weight.
C-4 is part of a group of explosives along with C, C2 and C3, each containing different amounts of RDX developed in the 1960s.

 Plastic explosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plastic explosives are especially suited for explosive demolition as they can be easily formed into the best shapes for cutting structural members, and have a high enough velocity of detonation and density for metal cutting work.
One of the earliest plastic explosives was Nobel 808, developed well before World War II and used extensively by British SOE forces during that war.
The samples of explosive brought to the USA by the Tizard Mission had been packaged by SOE ready for dropping to the French Resistance and were labelled in French, as Explosif Plastique.

 Explosives
The tetrytol explosive is relatively insensitive to water (becoming useless only after 24 hours of direct exposure to water), making it quite useful to UDT, naval special operations, and marine forces, but it is otherwise very unstable and must be protected against heat, flame, and severe drops.
The primary difference between the Mod 0 and Mod 1 are the explosives used in the charge, with C3 being used for the Mod 0 and C4 used in the Mod 1.
The Mod 0 version is a 2.5-pound (1.13-kilogram) block of C3 plastic explosive in a rectangular cotton duck bag, with a 9-foot (2.74-meter) length of primercord for detonating and as a booster charge.

 Patent 5613453: Method and apparatus for containing and suppressing explosive detonations
Explosives have many useful industrial applications including surface hardening of austenitic manganese alloy steels, surface deposition coating, welding of metallic components, compression molding of components from powders and granular media, and disposal of unwanted explosive or toxic materials.
In addition, the uncontrolled use of explosives required great amounts of space, posed substantial danger to equipment and personnel, and had the undesirable effect of demolishing the ignition leads, the work piece support surface, and everything else within the immediate vicinity of the explosion.
Despite the immense destructive forces of each explosive detonation, the chamber of the present invention, with its vent pipes 14 and energy absorbing liquid modules, has been found in practice to diminish the surplus destructive energy of each explosion to a point where the trolley beam 23 is virtually unaffected.

 Patent 5884569: Method and apparatus for containing and suppressing explosive detonations
The method of claim 19 for use with shaped-charge munitions, in which the carrier tube containing the clustered array of bomblets is oriented with the shaped charges oriented downward toward the closed bottom of the fragmentation containment unit.
A particularly important object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive means for absorbing the unused energy of the explosion, for instantaneously reducing temperatures and pressures within the chamber, while at the same time suppressing dust and particulate matter in the explosion by-products.
Because the energy liberated per unit of explosive varies according to the type of explosive involved, for optimum blast suppression the mass ratio of water to explosive must also be varied.

If explosives are known to be inside the building a SWAT Team may have an officer with them that has the abilities to disarm explosive devices, or have a demolition expert on a trailing team if explosives are thought to be present.
When breaching with C2 explosive extreme care and caution must be exercised since the explosive can kill subjects on the other side of the door.

-Game play with C2 C2's role is to breach doors while at the same time stunning anybody on the other side like a flash bang would.
It basically accomplishes the same task as, "breach bang and clear" only faster and the stun may not be as potent.
Here's how I usually breach doors with C2: first I never let the AI do it since there's some bug in the game and a lot times after setting up the charge the AI officer will walk off some place else and detonate it two minutes latter.

You know a seventy-five-year-old woman needs explosive strength just to get out of a chair, just like you guys need to row, or go into a ski turn, or whatever, but it is a practical thing that we all use all day long.

 Nat' Academies Press, Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos (2004)
Terrestrial substorms, they found, are one of a hierarchy of explosive magnetospheric phenomena that begins with unnamed turbulence in the magnetotail, progresses through “bursty bulk flows” and “pseudo-breakups” to substorms and then to magnetic storms.
Yet all are instances in which flow energy first converts gradually to magnetic energy and then explosively dissipates into kinetic energy and—in the case of flares—into electromagnetic radiation.
In the NENL model, as the magnetic pressure and the currents intensify in the plasma sheet in the magnetotail, a threshold for the onset of rapid reconnection is exceeded, leading to explosive release of magnetic energy stored in the tail lobes and dipolarization of the tail magnetic configuration.

During the initial stages of coagulation, factor Va actively recruits the enzyme, factor Xa, and the substrate, prothrombin, to the membrane surface of activated platelets.
Condensation of this enzyme-substrate pair on a surface contributes to the explosive generation of thrombin observed in vivo.
In fact, historical data concerning the membrane binding ability of factor V has been localized to the C domains, primarily the C2 domain, and previous hypothetical models have proposed that membrane interaction is mediated strictly by the C2 domain.

 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility
Because the type of high explosives to be used during testing is variable, a bounding case is used.
The high explosive used in thisassessment was nitroglycerine (even though this specific explosive would not be used in hydrodynamic testing) because it has the highest emission rate of nitrogen dioxide, 53 lb/ton (26 kg/MT), of any of the explosives listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for stationary point and area sources (EPA 1993).
It is assumed that 500 lb (230 kg) of high explosive (nitroglycerine for purposes of nitrogen dioxide emission) will be the maximum amount detonated in a 24-h period.
