Talk:C-12 shaped charge

woulnt it be classified as a "plastic" explosive


 * If it's descended from C-4 plastic explosives, then most likely it would be. Smoke 01:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I think someone made a mistake here...
There's nothing in the description of the article or the book regarding its characteristics or components to suggest that this is a shaped charge. It's just a demo charge. Shaped charges are large cylindrical affairs, and usually describe various configurations deployed from the business end of a tank's main gun, a rocket launcher, or bomblet dispensers. Shaped charges ARE used in the demolition of buildings, but those are built to spec for individual use, and do not involve bricks of high-ex or backpacks full of explosive compound that are fuzed and dropped on site.
