Explosives
3 types
-Mechanical
-Chemical
-Nuclear
4 effects
-blast pressure (hot expanding gases)
-fragmentation
-thermal (heat)
-chemical poison (breathing in gas)
positive pressure (explodes)
negative pressure (implodes)
dynamic pressure (tears doors apart)
incident pressure (lowered dynamic pressure)
residual pressure (buildup of pressure in closed area)
fragmentation (breaking of materials)
explosive work (work done by explosives)
low explosives burn (gunpowder)
high explosives explode (3 categories (primary, secondary, boosters)
Shapecharge is a cutting charge, punches holes in steel and wood
