3 tons of RDX.. 194 tons of HMX ( or HDX, the acronyms seem to be interchangeable..)
HMX is: " A 50/50 mix of TNT and RDX...
RDX cannot be used on it's own as an explosive. It is a component in explosives.. ( like C-4, and Centex. (sp?) )
So, even if there WERE 380 tons of RDX "out there" somewhere, it would have to have approximately 380 tons of some sort of "explosives mixer", ( ammonium nitrite "booster"? ) to go with it..
Now you would have to cart around 760 tons of combined RDX and "mix"..
It gets more insanely ridiculous the more you delve into it..
That's not actually correct. RDX is an explosive and will definitely go boom on its own. It is generally mixed with other substances to give it stability. So, no, you wouldn't need an equal amount of some other substance to use the stuff. You'd just have to be extra careful handling it.
