Detonation cord will initiate most commercial high explosives (dynamite, gelignite, sensitised gels, etc.) but will not initiate less sensitive blasting agents like ANFO on its own. 25 to 50 grain/foot (5.3 to 10.6 g/m) detonation cord has approximately the same initiating power as a #8 blasting cap in every 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) along its ...
The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the detonation pressure. The pressure can be calculated using Chapman-Jouguet theory from the velocity and density.
Class 1 goods are subdivided further into one of 6 distinct divisions, that describes the predominant explosive hazard that exists if that article was to detonate or activate while in transport or storage. These divisions are as follows: Class 1: Explosives. Division 1.1: Explosive that has a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is a ...

Several grenades and land mines on display in Hanoi. An explosive weapon is a weapon that uses an explosive to project blast and/or fragmentation from a point of detonation.. In the common practice of states, explosive weapons are generally the preserve of the military, for use in situations of armed conflict, and are rarely used for purposes of domestic policing.
Explosive ingredients Inert ingredients Usage AFX-757: RDX 25%, ammonium perchlorate 30%, aluminium 33%: HTPB 4.44%, dioctyl adipate 6.56%: Used in warheads for JASSM, GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb and similar weapons. [5] Has high air blast equivalent, 1.39 times more than Composition B, but low brisance due to low high explosive content. [6] [7 ...

The arrow is perhaps the first lethal projectile ever described in discussion of ballistics. A string joins the two ends and when the string is drawn back, the ends of the stick are flexed. When the string is released, the potential energy of the flexed stick is transformed into the velocity of the arrow. [12]
