I've heard that military ordnance (c4 etc) is actually much safer (read: harder to set off accidentally) than non-military grade explosives such as anfo/fireworks too.
C4 for example can be microwaved/heated to very high temperatures and won't explode without a dedicated blasting cap.
- dogma1138 6y agoIndeed in general you’ll have better luck detonating C4 by hitting it with a hammer hard enough than with heat. There are two main types of common explosives those which can be detonated using fire (e.g. gunpowder) and those which are shock detonated (e.g. cemtex). The blasting cap is just that an explosive that generates the sock needed to trigger the primary explosive, the blasting cap can usually be triggered with heat with an electric or flammable fuse.
