It requires a considerable amount of pressure. Even throwing it against the wall would not be eneogh.

A really fat man stamping on it...

I remember cooking in the field with C4. Light a small dab of it under an old steel pot and you can heat your MREs with it. We did. The fun part was to watch guys that had never seen that done before dive for cover when you lit it! They see you shaping it into a ball and watch intently. Then you pull out a cigarette lighter and their eyes start to get big and their expression says it all. Then when you light it, they dive for cover and usually shout a few obscenities. The rest of us just laughed and continued on.

It really is good stuff.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so it will actually burn when lit will it??

 

[cheddar cheese]

I just use petrol for burning.

 

[evangilder]

Yep, and a good hot flame. We used it for cooking when not blowing up stuff with it.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It is very usefull for cooking.

If C4 Requires pressure to detonate, the how can a block strapped onto a man explode? What do you use to press on it?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

A pressure charge (I believe that is what they call it) or a blasting cap. More than likely a blasting cap.

There's a detonator connected there... And they usually use nitrogenous fertilizer.........

The detonator is called a blasting cap.

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Any time. You know I could be wrong but that is atleast what I think is correct.
