مادة قاصمة
high explosive


Explanation:
I'm not really sure. This is the definition of high explosive according to http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=high e...
"Chemical explosive material having an extremely high reaction rate that creates very high combustion pressures, unlike low explosives that have a much lower reaction rate"
And this is the definition of مادة قاصمة according to http://www.geocities.com/falkon060/ex-seconddoor-5.htm المواد القاصمة هي مواد متفجرة اكثر قوة واقل حساسية بكثير للمؤثرات الخارجية من المواد المحرضة وتتم أثارتها عادة بانفجار المواد المحرض مثل حامض البكريك والتترايل والسيكلونيت (RDX) (شديدة الفاعلية) ومثل (TNT) والديناميت والخلائط المتفجرة وغيرها من المواد.

neutral  ArabInk: Love that geocities ref, Nesrin. Explosives, electronics, poisons, and secret inks for the jihad. Well, at least now I _know_ I'm under surveillance. ;) - Yikes, the map didn't register; I was just looking at the text! That is seriously scary!
