Nitrogen triiodide explosion. A contact explosive is a chemical substance that explodes violently when it is exposed to a relatively small amount of energy (e.g. friction, pressure, sound, light). Though different contact explosives have varying amounts of energy sensitivity, they are
Matthew Livelsberger, the Green Beret who died in the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion, left behind a note describing the incident as a “stunt” to serve as a “wake up call” for the country.

Tertiary explosives, also called blasting agents, are so insensitive to shock that they cannot be reliably detonated by practical quantities of primary explosive, and instead require an intermediate explosive booster of secondary explosive. These are often used for safety and the typically lower costs of material and handling.
The US hasn't produced TNT on American soil in decades, but a new contract issued by the military is going to change that.

RDX (abbreviation of "Research Department eXplosive" or Royal Demolition eXplosive) or hexogen, [4] among other names, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 N 2 O 2) 3. It is white, odorless, and tasteless, widely used as an explosive. [5] Chemically, it is classified as a nitroamine alongside HMX, which is a more energetic explosive ...
