Military explosives are substances designed to produce a rapid release of gas and energy, resulting in an explosion. They are used in various applications, including demolition, munitions, and military operations. Common types include TNT, C4, and dynamite, each with specific properties and uses. These explosives can be categorized into two main types: high explosives, which detonate and produce a shock wave, and low explosives, which deflagrate and burn rapidly. Military explosives are carefully regulated and require specialized training for handling and deployment to ensure safety and effectiveness in combat situations.
