COMPOSITION 'C'
           ---------------

   All of the  type  'C'  plastic explosives (that includes C-2, C-3, and
C-4) are exceedingly powerful and should be used with utmost care.

   This explosive is  just  a copy of a British  explosive that was adopted
early in WWII.  This  explosive  is the choice  explosive  of  the type 'C'
compounds  because  of its  relative  ease  of  manufacture  and  the  easy
aquisition of  the plastizer compound.  This  explosive  was  available  in
standard demolition blocks.

   This   explosive  was  standardized   and  adopted  in   the   following
composition:

R.D.X.......................... 88.3%
Heavy mineral oil.............. 11.1%
Lecithin....................... 00.6%

(all percentages are by weight)

   In this composition, the lecithin acts to prevent the formation of large
crystals of R.D.X.  which would  increase the sensitivity of the explosive.
This explosive has a  good  deal  of  power  and  is  relatively  non-toxic
(except when ingested).
