Example text

In a few training examples, we will look at several scenarios that are most unlikely to be encountered in the field, but from which are used to help you better understand the power of explosives. 1) If for example, you where to place 4 ounces of TNT onto the palm of your hand (solid piece, granules, or powder), and detonate it, the blast would blow apart your hand into about 8 or 10 pieces, remove a jagged chunk of your lower forearm, produce charring burns on the upper arm and face, temporarily blind you, and damage your ear drums—from the noise generated.

The destructive force is divided into three main categories: (A) Direct shattering; (B) Indirect shattering; and (C) Concentration Force. (A) Direct shattering, is used in mining and demolitions operations, either commercial or military. A primary example is as follows: It is achieved by drilling holes into a structure, either rock, concrete or the like, and then filling the holes with explosive. Upon detonation, the pressure waves produced exert tremendous force upon the surrounding media, causing a direct shattering effect.
