[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 2369950, member: 3056"] The short answer to the original question is "yes" Many factors including containment, air density, positioning, and most importantly burn rate can have a dramatic effect on the audible and physical end result. There are very specific uses for explosives of different composition and detonation rate, not unlike fast and slow burning powders for different results in small and large cartridges. You will often hear about charges used for "cutting" (very fast burn rate) these type charges are commonly used in ordinance disposal, shape charges, etc. and have a definitive "crack" when detonated. While others used for "shoving" (slower burn rate) commonly used in mining will have the trademark "boom". This is a rabbit hole with no bottom but that's the very rudimentary basics. [/QUOTE]
