Wikipedia defines 'high explosive' as having a detonation velocity of 3-9 km/s, so by that standard pure AN is not a high explosive, but ANFO is. I'm not sure

Wikipedia defines 'high explosive' as having a detonation velocity of 3-9 km/s, so by that standard pure AN is not a high explosive, but ANFO is.
