IIRC, PETN was what was in detonation cord. Explodes at 23,000 feet per second as compared to C4 at 26,000 feet per second. IIRC

Wiki article says: 8400 m/s for PETN, which would be 27,560 fps.

Thanks. My memory is off or things have changed. In any case, I don't know if that is the best explosive for what he was trying to do. Not in small quantity, anyway.
