Why do you say semtex is much more powerful than gelignite?? Msjayhawk (talk) 20:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Gelignite is not Blasting Gelatin. Blasting Gelatin is either Nitroglycerin or Nitroglycol (92-94%) that is saturated with Guncotton iwth a weight strength of 100% most of the time. Gelignite is mainly a 65% strength with added saw dust or other filler. Msjayhawk 20:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
