==Gallery== <gallery widths=270px heights=250px> Image:M1-M4 mine cutaway.JPG|Cross-sectional view of an [[M1_mine|M4 mine]] showing the [[detonator]] and adjacent booster charge surrounded by the main explosive charge of [[trinitrotoluene|TNT]] Image:BLU-43B_internal.jpg|Cross-sectional view of a [[BLU-43 Dragontooth]] [[cluster munition]] showing detonator and adjacent booster charge Image:M14 mine cutaway - internal view.png|Cut-away view of an [[M14 mine|M14 antipersonnel landmine]]. No booster is required because the main explosive filling is [[tetryl]], which is sufficiently sensitive to be initiated by the detonator alone File:PG-2 rocket.png|Cut-away view of an [[RPG-2]] rocket grenade showing booster charge File:M2A4_mine_M6A1_fuze.jpg|Cut-away view of a [[M2 mine]] showing booster charge above detonator File:US_Navy_101116-N-8546L-728_A_Uruguayan_army_explosive_ordnance_disposal_officer,.jpg|A group of 105 mm [[artillery shell]]s with [[plastic explosive]] stuffed into their [[fuze]] pockets to act as booster charges. Each of the five shells has been linked together with red [[detcord]] to make them [[detonate]] simultaneously. To turn this assembly into a [[booby trap]], the final step would be to connect an M142 firing device to the detcord and hide everything under some form of cover e.g. newspapers or a bed-sheet. </gallery> [[Category:Explosives]]
