Hardware:

C4 or plastique- A quarter pound of C4, a plastique, rolled into a cigar thick line about eight inches long placed along a steel I-beam will cut that beam as if you had used a cutting torch. A pound of C4 placed at all four corners of a building will take down the building. C4 usually comes wrapped in plastic like cheese and packed in a wooden crate. Plastique cannot and WILL NOT explode if exposed to flame. As a matter of fact, plastique has been used very successfully to heat up C-rations. Additionally, C4 has been used as a very unsuccessful baseball. Basically, the stuff (B2, B3, C2, and C4) is very stable stuff. That is, until you put a detonator in it. All the services use C4. Semtex (Semtek?) is the trade name of a plastique produced by the former Czechoslovakia. It is similar in use and preparation to C4. Semtek is usually packaged in 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs.) sausage-like containers wrapped in plastic. Any plastique can be used underwater. As a matter of fact, water increases the concussive effect of the explosion. Plastique is the safest of all explosives and can only be detonated by using blasting caps. All explosives have an odor to a trained police dog. There is not such a thing as an odorless anything. However, in the last 5 or 10 years the Romanians and Hungarians re-formulated Semtex, and other plastic explosives, to be "odorless" to available mechanical "sniffers." Additionally, as the fear of terrorism has risen so has Congress' desire to increase detection of various explosives. This has usually taken the form of plastic "tags" that are imbedded in the explosive during the manufacturing process. Information gathered from: geocities.com
