Life-sized Plastic Replica of an M49A2 High Explosive, 60 mm caliber Mortar Round from Temu

Just showing the other Item I bought from Temu recently, which is a Life-sized or 1:1 Plastic Replica of a 60 mm caliber Mortar Ammunition. As you can see from the Picture, it is of considerable Size, but is actually very light because of its Plastic Construction.

The Temu Description for this was just an “M2 Mortar Round”, but based on the Pictures I have seen on Google, this is more like a Replica of the M49A2 High Explosive (HE) round with an M52 Aluminum Fuse.

This is just a great Piece to have around the House for Military Enthusiasts, just search on Temu for the Phrase, “M2 Mortar Round”, or something like that. I was confident to show my Hand here since I had just clipped my Fingernails, LOL.

Remember though that Temu changes their Prices a lot, so if you are patient enough, you can get this on a Discount since they are always giving that around. I bought this for only around Php 300.

Reposted from @molecule_of_the_day (@get_regrann) - Octanitrocubane is a high explosive 🧨 that, like TNT, is shock-insensitive (not readily detonated by shock). The octanitrocubane molecule has the same chemical structure as cubane (C8H8), where 8 carbon atoms are arranged at each corner of a cube, except that each of the eight hydrogen atoms ⚛️ in cubane is replaced by a nitro group (NO2). The cubic shape of octanitrocubane requires the carbon atoms to adopt an unusually sharp 90° bonding angle, which is highly strained. Hence, octanitrocubane has very high chemical potential energy. In fact, this substance has a detonation velocity of 10,100 m/s, making it the fastest known explosive 💣. However, due to a lack of readily available decomposition paths, octanitrocubane is fairly stable at room temperature and pressure, making it a very useful explosive that will not detonate until triggered. Unfortunately, although octanitrocubane is predicted to be one of the most effective explosives, the difficulty of its synthesis inhibits practical use. Octanitrocubane is currently more valuable 💰, gram for gram, than gold. We probably won't see octanitrocubane being used anytime soon!
