[QUOTE="Rockhunter62, post: 352797, member: 7504"] This used to be an ordnance bunker in Iraq. internal dimensions about 20mtrs x 20mtrs x 4mtrs high. Revetted walls with internal walkway between outer walls and inner wall. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7504/1502701044_105_0575_28613000.jpg[/img] It's amazing just what you can do with about 500 pound of propellant and a couple of tons of fine dust. A length of detcord with mortar cartridge to ignite propellant, the shockwave makes the dust rise into a cloud and then the resulting mass fire instantaneously ignites the dust to explode. We levelled several bunkers before we were made to tell our yank partners why the bunkers exploded. ]:D ]:D ]:D They were good days. Cheers Doug [/QUOTE]
