  Æ Aeragon - Military Explosives
Explosives are defined as materials (chemical or nuclear) that can be initiated to undergo very rapid, self-propagating decomposition that results in the formation of a more stable material, the liberation of heat, or the development of a sudden pressure effect through the action of heat on produced or adjacent gases.
Generally, chemical explosives are substances where the fuel and oxidizer are combined in the same material thereby causing the reaction to be self-propagating.
Some high explosives cannot be detonated without the use of some other explosive to set up an initial shock wave and a few must have a booster charge.

 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.
C3 may also go off if hit by small arms fire, but the resultant explosion will only at 1/4 strength, and it is much less sensitive to heat.

 Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Plastic explosive
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.
In the sixties it was replaced by C4, also using RDX but with polyisobutylene and di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate as the binder and plasticizer.

After this episode, explosive activity with ejection of small glowing blocks was observed at Crater 2 (on 19, 21, 24, 25, and 28 June, and 2 July) with almost continuous noisy gas emission (on 25 June, and 4, 7, and 9 July).
Volcano guides reported infrequent small explosive activity at the 3 craters during visits to the summit on 10, 15, and 16 April, and 1 May. In early May, the first complete gas sampling at Stromboli was made during an inter-explosive phase at fumaroles (410°C) on the NW rim of the active crater complex (table 1).
C3's smaller explosive bursts, consisting of tephra-poor incandescent gas jets, were usually preceded by comparatively brief periods of increasing, noisy gas puffs; larger explosions that ejected a higher proportion of tephra followed longer intervals, with fewer or no precursory gas puffs.

 C-4 (explosive) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C-4 is made up of explosive, plastic binder, plasticizer and, usually, marker or taggant chemicals such as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source.
As with many plastic explosives, the explosive material in C-4 is RDX (also known as cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) which makes up around 91% of the C-4 by weight.
C-4 is a typical explosive used in many movies, TV shows and video games (Such as the popular game Counter-Strike), and is prominently used in the Bruce Willis film Die Hard, where an enormous amount is used to destroy a huge plaza building.

Because of the explosive charge, there is a small area of lethality directly behind the mine, as well as the area of devastation in front of the blast.
When triggered, the explosive releases the fragmentation face of the mine, triangular and rectangular steel fragments and 700 deadly steel balls which blow out towards one direction in a fan-shaped pattern.

It's interesting to see with the explosives story how they might have operated: Explosives -> "Thieves" -> Drug dealers -> X -> Terrorists which means that almost everybody has their hands clean except for X and the number Xs would be very limited.
