[V8] C4?

[Bryan Kamerer]

WTF in your context is a C4?

I am confident it is something cool, but as far as I know C4 is a very
exciting nitrogenated compound with an inert long-chain stabilizing base.
AKA a "plastique" -  to sound cool by aping the French.  Which should be
done only in a limited way, of course.  Otherwise some dumb asses will start
a revolution and guillotine innocent people by the thousands for no good
reason, then an inter-continental war they will obviously loose.  That's
just the French way about things. Has been that way for hundreds of years.
Incredibly retarded.

But proper C4 has a gas expansion rate of around 26,000 feet per second.
Placed behind 00 buck shot, it is a recipe for serious fun.  Serious fun.
Comes labeled in a small plastic box that says "FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY."  Tons
of fun, let me tell you.

I am thinking you are talking about something else?
