The nitro gives the head ache. I used to use gloves. The fummes from the plastic wrapper when opened on some bricks if loose would let out a cloud of head ache air. I vomited once we handled so much.

Wow, such mature replies...

The game was developed based on realism. I have no knowledge of "real" C4 which is why I came to a buch of military forums. You guys didnt have to be ingrates and flame my thread this way, thats plain ignorant. All I wanted to know is, can you level a M1A1 Abrams tank with a "real live" pack of C4 weighing around 8 pounds. Simple, if you dont know then say "Sorry 127 but I dont know, but you might want to try this website". A useful link would have been helpful, not some dunderpated jibberish... bleh.

Your question is still inappropriate on a military forum.
It is a simple matter of common sense.
Would you walk up to a cop and ask him whether a 7.62 would go through his vest? I doubt it.
Just drop it.
As to this:

Exactly what does anyone here have to be 'grateful' to you for?

Fellow forumites, 127 and I have had a wee chat and he now understands our perspective on this type of Q. He thought it was a reasonable Q, we thought otherwise, he got burnt and was a bit miffed.


Now the real question is could an Abrams travelling west across the Iraqi desert with a Stars and Stripes flying from the radio antenna reach safety before he was hit by fri........................

Stop it you bad boy :lol: :lol:

M-1 tanks can be destroyed by aliens in space craft. The battle station at Hoth with its laser cannons would stop those Imperial crawlers.

Archie, Whitey, thank you. Frank, the reason I asked in a military forum is because I know that the military uses C4. I thought maybe some of you had some experience with it and could share some of that knowledge with me. Thats all :D .

If you look carfully at the stormtroopers in the first Star Wars, the buggers are using Sterling SMGs and MG42s. There's something fishy going on here!
