There many types of explosions that aren't nuclear. Nuclear weapons are something that everyone nearly knows about. One type of an explosions is TNT. TNT is an easily used explosive material. It can handle many things for example like being insensible to shock, friction, and most mechanical influences. TNT is still considered the standard power of strength compared to other explosions. Dynamite is another common explosive. It is usually mistaken for TNT. Dynamite's difference is that, "is a specific chemical compound, dynamite is an absorbent mixture soaked in nitroglycerin that is compressed into a cylindrical shape and wrapped in paper.". This is considered a high explosive. This means that it detonates, the energy starts an initial decomposition which would lead to detonating the surrounding fuel. This explosive has been mostly used for destroying anything that is described as a structure such as building or anything which looks big and can be taken down. Another explosive which if you play Call of Duty you should know is C4. Composition 4 is only one variety of a plastic explosive. The basic idea for a plastic explosive is a combination of explosive chemicals with a plastic binder material. The binder allows to handle the explosive safer and to coat the explosive material. To illustrate how powerful this explosive can be, it can kill several people with less than a pound of C4.
Explosives is another weapon made and advanced through the years of warfare. The terrible thing about weapons is that it will always be capable of getting in the wrong hands. Plastic explosives for example has been used by terrorists and it has caused many deaths. I myself like weapons, but when used for the wrong purpose, it will never be good.
