The force of different varieties may vary 30 to 40 percent, but a properly placed standard stick can blast a 12‐inch tree stump from the ground.

How many PSI is a stick of dynamite?

Detonation pressures of explosives range from 10 to over 140 Kilobars (l Kilobar = 14,504 psi).

How much damage can 1 kg of TNT do?

Under controlled conditions one kilogram of TNT can destroy (or even obliterate) a small vehicle. The approximate radiant heat energy released during 3-phase, 600 V, 100 kA arcing fault in a 0.5 m × 0.5 m × 0.5 m (20 in × 20 in × 20 in) compartment within a 1-second period.

What can 1 stick of dynamite do?

Is C4 more powerful than dynamite?

C4 is more powerful than TNT and is quite stable. Supposedly, a bullet can be shot into a stick of C4 without causing it to detonate. To explode a stick of C4 requires a detonator.

How many tons of TNT is a supernova?

The prodigious amount of energy (approximately 10(51), or approximately 2.5 x 10(28) megatonnes of TNT equivalent) and momentum associated with each supernova may even have helped to shape galaxies as they formed in the early Universe.

Will dynamite explode if you shoot it?

It depends on the explosive. Some bomb materials are highly sensitive to impact; if you shoot a gun at a stick of dynamite, for example, there’s a good chance you’ll set it off. Others are less susceptible to gunfire. A block of C4 plastic explosive can withstand a rifle shot without exploding.

How big does a stick of dynamite get?

Dynamite (Stick) A character can bind sticks of dynamite together so they explode at the same time. Each additional stick increases the damage by 1d6 (to a maximum of 10d6) and the burst radius by 5 feet (to a maximum of 20 feet). Dynamite can be rigged with a longer fuse to explode after a set amount of time, usually 1 to 6 rounds.

Where do you throw a stick of dynamite?

As an action, a creature can light a stick of dynamite and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Do you have to be a licensed blaster to buy dynamite?

Even after you’re licensed, you can’t go around blowing TNT anywhere you want. You must apply for permits for the area you plan on “working” in.

Is it dangerous to use old dynamite sticks?

Storage considerations. Crystals will form on the outside of the sticks causing them to be even more shock, friction, and temperature sensitive. This creates a very dangerous situation. While the risk of an explosion without the use of a blasting cap is minimal for fresh dynamite, old dynamite is dangerous.
