    C-1 Revisited

    Regarding C-1 Explosives

    After spending 12 years in the Army as an explosives instructor in an EOD/Engineer unit, I regret to tell you that your claims of this explosive being 150 times more powerful than TNT and 10% more powerful than C4 are seriously in error.

    First off, the designation C1....the composition of this series of compounds has little effect in regards to explosive mixture(s), it pertains to the amount of pliable plastizer that will function in all types of weather from extreme cold to searing hot.

    That's why the earlier designation of C1,C2,C3 don't exist anymore...C4 is based on an ethylene Glycol type binder much like the all temperature antifreeze for your car.

    It was found to be the perfect balance of binder to explosive for all applications.

    Next, if it was more powerful than C4 by 10% than it would only be 54% more powerful than TNT. This can be substaniated by the known RE factor of C4 being 1.34 with an RDX base and TNT's RE being 1.00...check any 5-25 Demolitions manual.

      Rockets for Rookies

      by Even Steven

      Popular terminology makes a distinction between jets and rockets: a jet takes in air from the atmosphere; a rocket needs no air supply, as it carries its own supply of oxygen. Both types of engines operate by expelling a stream of gas at high speed from a nozzle at the after end of the vehicle. Rockets are distinguished by the means used to produce exhaust material. The most common type of rocket engine obtains its high-pressure...

      Disclaimer: Yo, I'm not responsible for anything you do with this, or if you fuck up. Its not my fault Ever wanted to cause a huge fuckin fire? Well here's your chance to do that or just cause a huge fuckin mess. For those who aren't into widespread destruction I've included two versions of how to build this: "Fun" and "True Anarchist". "fun" instructions: 1. Get the following: -one Estes C6-3 engine (sold in...

      Remote Control Detonators

      How many times have you wanted to seriously scare someone or better yet, throw flaming projectiles at their house, but didnt want to get caught? Well, Now you can! By modifying certain remote control toys you too can hide up in a tree and blow up things by just pressing a button.

      Using this system, I've modified a very expensive tank without ruin- ing it, or taking away any of its controls.

      Raging Rockets

      by Ryan

      You know those rocket engines that you use in those model rocket kits? Wanna have some fun with them? This is what you do. First take knife and carve out the end with the hole in it until you reach the black powder. After that if you have a wick (green ones work best) shove it into the hole the tape it up so only the wick is sticking out. Next light the thing and run! The rocket can either explode, fly into the air, spiral on the ground...

      by Enigma

      RDX(Cyclonite)

      RDX, or cyclonite, is a very insensitive high explosive compound. The actual chemical name is cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, although the chemical names hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine; Hexogen; trimethylenetrinitramine; sym-trimethylenetrinitramine ;Hexolite; 1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-p-triazine; 1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-s-triazine; cyclotrimrthylene-trinitramine; 1,3,5-triaza-1,3,5-trinitrocyclohexane; trinitrohexahydrotriazine; and T4 are also...

      RDX or Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine

      R.D.X., also called cyclonite, or composition C-1 (when mixed with plasticisers) is one of the most valuable of all military explosives. This is because it has more than 150% of the power of T.N.T., and is much easier to detonate. It should not be used alone, since it can be set off by a not-too severe shock. It is less sensitive than mercury fulminate, or nitroglycerine, but it is still too sensitive to be used alone. R.D.X. can...
