For example: An initiator (such as shock tube, or cannon fuse) does not have the energy to trigger large high explosive charges (such as PETN, TNT, or ANFO), so a booster is used to upgrade the energy so that the main charge is activated. Tetryl was once a very popular chemical for booster charges, particularly during World War II, but has been largely superseded by other compositions

agree  Mihaela Brooks: acum am citit nota ta: ruta mea a fost de la explosive train (training experience) si asa am gasit initiating elements/am experienta:pistol & grenada,din pacate nu pot avea replica tipului din Armageddon-"scenery changes & they let me use explosives" ha
3 hrs
  -> E am fost mai "convoluted" dar sunt convinsa ca ai mai multa experienta cu arme,etc(saw profile). Multumesc Mihaela.

initiating elements


Explanation:
Explosive Train: A series of ****initiating and igniting elements ****that are arranged in order of decreasing sensitivity inside a munition, such as a fuse, projectile, bomb, or gun chamber. An explosive train acts to accomplish the controlled augmentation of a small impulse into one which has sufficient energy to cause the main charge of the munition to function.
