The idea is for commercial demolitions. The Kit is an aid, not the
be-all for such people. The "etc" was a bit vague i admit.
The Kit includes approx 50 blasting caps, 4 x 100m det cord and wiring,
plus all the assorted gear needed, except the explosives

The idea is rough, but when i have some stats i'll let you know. I was

OK, so it's a bit far-fetched!! sue me!!

it's an interesting idea, but not having done high-energy Physics, i
didn't know any better. The idea was for an alternative for Runners to
blasting open every damn door they come across..
