C4 explosive

A stick of C-4 explosive.

Composition-4 or C-4 is a remote explosive fetured in every conflict game to date. It is commonly used to accomplish objectives and should not be used freely as a weapon.

Description[]

C-4 is a member of the Composition C family of chemical explosives. Variants have different proportions and plasticizers and include compositions C-2, C-3, and C-4. The original RDX-based material was developed by the British during World War II and redeveloped as Composition C when introduced to the U.S. military. It was replaced by Composition C-2 around 1943 and later redeveloped around 1944 as Composition C-3. The toxicity of C-3 was reduced, and the concentration of RDX was increased, giving it improved safety during usage and storage. Research on a replacement for C-3 was begun prior to 1950, but the new material, C-4, did not begin pilot production until 1956. C-4 was submitted for patent as "Solid Propellant and a Process for its Preparation" on March 31, 1958, by the Phillips Petroleum Company.

Stratagies[]

Assuming you have spares, C4 can be a useful weapon. It has the ability to always destroy tanks and APCs. If you lack AT weaponry, throw down some smoke and get close enough to lay a C4 down by the tank. Retreat and detonate, and the tank will be destroyed.
