C-4
Military demolition material
C-4 is a plastic explosive widely used by military forces.
It is malleable like clay, stable under most conditions, and requires a detonator to explode, making it relatively safe to handle and transport.
C-4 has become familiar to the public through action movies and television, where it frequently appears as the explosive of choice for demolitions and terrorist plots.
The bomb squad confirmed the device contained C-4.
