charge, satchel: large explosive packages attached to structures to destroy them

charge, thermal: extermely high temperature reactions which burn through materials

detonator, impact: sets off an explosive charge when subjected to a short shock

detonator, pressure: sets off an explosive charge when pressure exceeds a set value

detonator, proximity: sets off an explosive charge when a sensor detects a set condition within range

detonator, remote: sets off an explosive charged when signaled from a distance

detonator, timed: sets off an explosive charge after a set period of time elapses

explosives, improvised: ad-hoc explosive devices crafted from readily-available common materials repurposed to cause damage

explosives, incendiary gel: liquid or near-liquid explosives designed to cling to a surface as they burn

explosives, polymer: explosives polymerized for stability and flexible choice of use in the field

explosives, shaped-charge: explosive charges or blocks configured to detonate in a specific pattern designed to force the direction of the explosive waves into a single target point to increase destructive yield

grenade, concussion: hand-thrown explosive to create casualties by lethal concussive shock waves while reducing impact to friendly forces

grenade, flash: hand-thrown explosive to create a bright flash and loud sound for distraction or disorientation

grenade, fragmentation: hand-thrown explosive which disintegrates into a high volume of shrapnel

grenade, gas: hand-thrown explosive which releases a gas, causing different effects depending on the gas used

grenade, restraint: hand-thrown explosive which hardens into a restraint gel on impact

grenade, rocket-propelled: larger grenade mounted to a rocket, launchd by rifle or similar hand-held weapon for longer-range delivery and anti-vehicle uses

grenade, smoke: a hand-thrown explosive which generates a large volume of smoke for concealment

mine, buried: explosives buried to be triggered by personnel or vehicles moving over them

mine, directional: explosives hidden to detonate and direct shrapnel into a specific area

mortars: ashell launcher to deliver explosives behind or over obstacles

rockets, smoke: a small rocket launched across a battlefield which uses explosive reactions to generate large volumes of smoke for concealment
