composition B

Petn1933 - 21-5-2021 at 06:59


20 g of compound B with a density of about 1.51 which contains 60% rdx and 40% tnt.
The thickness of the iron plate is 6 mm.
Powerful!

Beautiful test, clean hole, very brisant and powerful indeed.

Still used to fill m67's to this day I believe, but they are looking for a greener replacement.

Thats very impressive, powerful hockey puck you got there;)

Well done!

This brings to mind a banquet of some sorts a while ago. I sat opposite a fellow that told that he had made heroin at work once (I suspect he was working at the national crime labs). I said I couldn't compete with that, best I've done was some some C4. His jaw just hit the floor ;-)

Some time ago, we opened a mine similar to the M18 Claymore made in the former Yugoslavia. Interestingly, in this model, unlike the American version, comp B was used instead of c4.

Is incredible, that the hole in 6mm steel arises only from pressure of gases. For girls or layman it sounds a like joke...:cool:

I always wanted my hand grenades to be eco friendly. Could throw them into ponds in good conscience. :)

What fascinates me is how high powered detonations are, mere gases ripping hardened steel apart like paper, and all the same time, how weak all our forces of interaction are compared to strong nuclear forces. Even the strongest of known materials are close to true vacuum when compared to forces applied in neutron stars. It's like billions, or trillions of tons per mm2, in relativistic terms.

Give me one of those grenades too!;)

And when man sees these powers, he realizes his own weakness!
