RDX
Le RDX ou cyclotriméthylènetrinitramine est également connu sous les noms de cyclonite ou hexogène. Le RDX est un composé explosif cristallin solide de couleur blanche, habituellement utilisé en mélange avec d'autres explosifs, des huiles ou des cires. Mélangé avec le PETN, il entre dans la composition du Semtex. Ce composé organique très stable est considéré comme l'un des explosifs militaires les plus puissants et largement utilisés depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, entre autres dans l'ogive du RPG-7.
Spall
Spall are fragments of a material that are broken off a larger solid body. It can be produced by a variety of mechanisms, including as a result of projectile impact, corrosion, weathering, cavitation, or excessive rolling pressure (as in a ball bearing). Spalling and spallation both describe the process of surface failure in which spall is shed. The terms spall, spalling, and spallation have been adopted by particle physicists; in neutron scattering instruments, neutrons are generated by bombarding a uranium (or other) target with a stream of atoms.
Fusil antichar

Le fusil antichar est une arme à feu, tirant au coup par coup, assez légère pour être portée par un seul soldat, et conçue pour détruire des véhicules blindés. La haute vélocité de la balle à la sortie du canon lui permet de percer le blindage de chars légers ou d'automitrailleuses. vignette|redresse=1.1|Fusil antichar allemand Tankgewehr de calibre .
Bomb disposal
Bomb disposal is an explosives engineering profession using the process by which hazardous explosive devices are disabled or otherwise rendered safe. Bomb disposal is an all-encompassing term to describe the separate, but interrelated functions in the military fields of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and improvised explosive device disposal (IEDD), and the public safety roles of public safety bomb disposal (PSBD) and the bomb squad. The first professional civilian bomb squad was established by Sir Vivian Dering Majendie.
Anti-tank grenade
An anti-tank grenade is a specialized hand-thrown grenade used to defeat armored targets. Although their inherently short range limits the usefulness of grenades, troops can lie in ambush or maneuver under cover to exploit the limited outward visibility of the crew in a target vehicle. Hand launched anti-tank grenades became redundant with the introduction of standoff rocket propelled grenades and man-portable anti-tank systems.
