Description
- Content Description: Shock loading experiments were performed on 2,4-Dinitroimidazole. Results indicate that it is a very shock insensitive material. The performance of the material is expected to be 60% greater than TNT. Costs appear to be low but are unresolved at this time. 2,4-DNI may be a realistic alternative to TNT for mass-use bombs.
