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.

He went to fight a fire one night , when somebody shouted
Dynamite,
Wherever he is he'll be alright
He puts out fires

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

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

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!
