Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MK 2 Grenade?

The MK 2 Grenade is a fragmentation-type anti-personnel hand grenade. It was first introduced by the U.S. armed forces in 1918 and is designed to disperse fragments upon detonation.

What is dynamite made of?

Dynamite is an explosive primarily composed of nitroglycerin. It also includes sorbents, such as powdered shells or clay, and stabilizers to enhance its safety and stability during handling and transport.

What is detonating cord?

Detonating cord is a flexible plastic tube filled with a high explosive, typically pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), also known as pentrite. It's used to initiate other explosives or to create a linear charge.

How does the video demonstrate explosive effects?

The video uses high-speed, super slow-motion cameras to capture the precise moment of detonation and the subsequent blast waves and fragmentation. Low-light and night vision are also used to visualize heat and light signatures.
