These explosives with higher brisance are commonly used by the military in conventional ordnance. The pushing effect of explosives is more commonly associated with dynamite or ammonium nitrate fuel oil. While still powerful explosives, they have a slower detonation velocity, which makes them better used for other tasks such as moving dirt
