HMX, also called octogen, is a powerful and relatively insensitive nitroamine high explosive chemically related to RDX. The compound's name is the subject of much speculation, having been variously listed as High Melting Explosive , High-velocity Military Explosive , or High-Molecular-weight RDX .
Rocket jumping has appeared in other media as well. In William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, a reference is made to being hoisted with his own petard, or being lifted by the explosion of one's own bomb. In the live-action film Transformers, the character Ironhide performs a rocket jump over a screaming woman after transforming from his truck mode ...
It is intended to limit the effective distance of the explosion, to avoid collateral damage in warfare. The phrase inert metal refers to a metal that is not chemically active and therefore not part of the chemical reaction that causes the explosion, as opposed to some metals, such as aluminium , that do form part of the chemical reaction—e.g ...
Chemically, it is classified as a nitroamine alongside HMX, which is a more energetic explosive than TNT. It was used widely in World War II and remains common in military applications . RDX is often used in mixtures with other explosives and plasticizers or phlegmatizers (desensitizers); it is the explosive agent in C-4 plastic explosive and a ...
SpaceX’s rocket explosion in November 2023 created a massive hole in the Earth's ionosphere, providing scientists with a rare opportunity to study its effects.
The weapon therefore featured a metal shield attached to the launch tube to protect the operator’s face from the blast. With later designs such as the RPG-7, the rocket exits the launcher with a low-powered gunpowder charge, and the main rocket motor then fires after the rocket has travelled 10 m (33 ft). In some other designs, the propellant ...
The RPO-A and either the TGB-7V thermobaric rocket from the RPG-7 or rockets from either the RShG-1 or the RShG-2 is claimed to have been used by the Spetsnaz during the initial storming of the school. [84] [85] [86] At least three and as many as nine RPO-A casings were later found at the positions of the Spetsnaz.
