minus-square@warbond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•3 hours agoI don’t think TNT is used at all, I’m pretty sure it’s some explosive compound, as you said. However, explosives are still measured in terms of TNT, called Net Explosive Weight (NEW). For example, one pound of C4 has a NEW of about 1.25 pounds.
