First explosive lessons for Danny

Since Danny isn't giving up to ask me over and over again about explosives and their particular characteristics I'm starting to teach him about the following explosives and their chemistry:

He is so interested in the field that he could become maybe a blaster/demolition expert in a country like Australia with plenty of opportunities in the mining area later on,so why holding him back in his greed for knowledge.:)
My personal capabilities in this sector are all theoretical and I've never made for example C4 or any other plastic explosive by myself but it would be in fact surprisingly simple to make all sorts of pyrotechnic material.:)
