Can anyone tell me what kind of c4 (sapper) explosive the Soviets used in the late 80s early 90s?

Also;
Western armies used the Claymore. What equivalent did the Soviets use?

Cheers!

look into semtex- czech plastique. If you detonate it in its country of origin, you end up with a bunch of cancelled Czechs.

As for claymore-type devices, I'll have to dig deeper.

Btw, the reason I am trying to find out some info on this kind of stuff, is becouse I am creating a game and need to build 3D digital models of the Soviet versions of what we have/had.

I am planning to use the Unreal3 engine.

Anyways, thats why I ask.

What do you need exactly?
Brand? Pictures? Markings?

i know this may be jus-a-littlbit off topic, but i heard u can put a bullet through C4 and it won't explode, is that true?

Never tried that, but it doesn't often explode when you don't want it to. If you fired the gun from point-blank range, you might cook off the C4. At a distance, from my understanding of its contents, the stuff should just sit and smile.

Yes, to make it as accurate as possible.

to elucidate on GOT's words... C-4 is an incredibly stable explosive. It takes a good amoutn in an enclosed space to make it so destructive. In fact, TNT and glycerin are actually pretty stable, too.

The Soviet style Claymore are the MON-50, MON-90, MON-100, MON-200; MRUD (Serbia)

Cite your sources. I challenge anyone to stand 20-25m away from a block of c4 and shoot it. Energy is energy, and a bullet would add the same if not more internal energy to the system as an electric detonator would. The energy comes from the rapid plastic deformation of the material, causing friction within the system, which increases temperature, then boom.
