I was just using Google to try and learn more about breaching charges and I found a chapter from a military manual about the use of explosives in a combat situation.

I thought that it would be useful background material for players and GMs who want to use characters who are demolitionists or who are supposed to have a military background.

You learn something every day. Until I read this chapter I didn't know that small arms fire will not detonate TNT.

Here is my favorite quote:

QUOTE

Any time explosive charges are used to breach doors, the knobs, locks and hinges made of steel and metal can become lethal projectiles.

...this definitely would have been information my little urban guerilla Leela would have known.

Also very handy for my new demolitionist, Bekka.

Thanks for the link

Didn't know that little tidbit about small arms & TNT either.

FMs are a really good, free resource.
