I think it's more of what Sionyx said, a fertilizer bomb.

*facepalm* ANNM is a goddamn fertilizer bomb.

This precise mixture is called ANIMAL, as I stated earlier, the name is a corruption of ANNMAL = AN/NM/Al = Ammonium nitrate fertiliser/Nitromethane/Aluminium powder. It's NOT a plastic, it's a very powerful blasting slurry but very difficult to manipulate due to hygroscopicity.

Firstly...there was no plasticizer mentioned in the recipe, which rules out a plastique explosive. Secondly..if there is no RDX, it isn't C4. RDX is very common in Plastiques, so if you dont see RDX mentioned, it isnt any of the military grade compositions and quite possibly not a Plastique.

Those are two ways to Identify C-4 by the ingredients suggested.

Guess I didn't catch on to the Animal being ANNMAL lol sorry.

Also @CPT I didn't say it was C4 I was asking questions about what it was, and if anyone had seen this book or the youtube video before they banned it.

It's what timothy mcfuck used to blow up the gov't center a while back (i believe).

annmal thats what it is although it was only the tnt that went bang there mixture was just destroyed u usually use preasure or sealed containers etc for annmal
