C4

Military demolition compound

C4 is a powerful plastic explosive widely used by military forces.

It is stable, malleable, and detonates only with a specific trigger, making it relatively safe to handle and transport.

The name comes from "Composition 4," its designation in a series of plastic explosives.

C4 appears frequently in action films and video games, where characters plant it on doors or vehicles.

The demolition team used C4 to bring down the bridge.
