Re: 20MM Hexagon Ammunition

Hello Tomislav
and thanks for much more precise explanation on differences between TNT and Hex. My opinion is that if one replaces 45% of TNT by 35% of Hexogen the explosion power doesn’t chance much, The question is the impact of Aluminium dust in the composition. I cannot say anything of its impact on detonation speed (thanks for the correct English term) but I recall that use of it enhance the flash and so my understanding is that the Hex ammo is more destructive if it explode in or near something easily igniting.
