Talk:PE4
Not C4 -- stop redirecting there!!
[edit]Please do not keep redirecting this to C-4. It is not the same thing as C-4, as even that article states:
- The British military uses a plastic explosive referred to as PE4. Like C4, it is an off-white coloured solid and its explosive characteristics are nearly identical to C-4. The type and proportion of plasticizer used differs, and PE4 has a more rapid velocity of detonation, 8210 metres per second. [emphasis added.]
In fact the only similarity between C-4 and PE4 is that both are plastic explosives, and both use a nitramine based HE ingredient. Frankly even the colour is not all that similar: both are indeed whitish, but if you put them side by side you can easily tell them apart. -- Securiger (talk) 07:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
