we used to blow buildings with those ....made flour charges.

Those worked real good on the old wooden boxcars used for moving ammo between storage igloos, too. We got tasked with ruining a bunch of those, with the caveat that we couldn't burn them because the underframes and running gear had to stay in one piece for rebuilding.

Okay. 215 dust initiator charges later, flatcars instead of boxcars, and numerous notwell-stacked piles of splintered lumber for the woodchipper.
