Det cord

[39mto39g]

I carried 150 feet of det cord along with a block of c-4 and 2 packages of Comp-B
Det cord could be put in one end of a claymore while the other end had a blasting cap that was hooked to the hand held generator. The det cord could be put in C-4 , Comp- B or take the fuse from a grenade and put it inside a grenade, or string Claymores together. Det cord was nothing more than C-4 inside a 1/4 inch dia clear plastic tube. They say you could cut a tree with it, I never tried, a pack of comp-B and Det cord would definitely blow a tree about 2 foot in dia.
The most interesting thing I ever did with det cord was hook it to a trip flare and lay out about 20 feet of det cord. The trip flare went off and ignited the c-4 which burned like c-4, took awhile and lite up the area.
