  2. Chemicals like chlorine gas were used in early World War I. At that time the only defense was a wet cloth and goggles over their face. chlorine gas

  3. Cyanogen chloride is a highly toxic blood agent. It is commonly known as chlorine cyanide. But if you don’t heat it up, it won’t hurt you at all. It also burns but, it won’t ignite immediately. Cyanogen Chloride [ chlorine cyanide]

  6. A C-4 [composition 4] is an common high explosive. It’s an combination of several small explosives. It’s explosive velocity is 8,040 m/s [26,400 ft/s] or, 28,900 km/h [18,000 mph]. That is a lot of explosive power! plugging wires in a C-4 box
