Ammonium nitrate is regularly used as a component of fertilizer. As such, ammonium nitrate can be easy to acquire legally. However, governments and corporations are well aware that ammonium nitrate can be used in explosives, so they monitor and track the sales of this particular chemical. Buying too much at any given time from a legal source will likely raise red flags that law enforcement will investigate. Because of this, most runners involved in bomb making will acquire ammonium nitrate from black-market sources as opposed to legal avenues.
Ammonium nitrate consists of a powder or granules and requires a container to hold it before a detonator can be fitted.
Ammonium nitrate will catch fire if set alight, but it will only explode if burned when enclosed in a container. Ammonium nitrate will not detonate when wet. It can be used as an oxidizing agent for other explosives and can also be used to modify their detonation rates. Other chemicals ammonium nitrate has been used with include nitroglycerin.

Ammonium nitrate/fuel oil is a binary explosive, combining ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. The two are mixed to enhance the effectiveness of the ammonium nitrate. ANFO is a common commercial explosive used frequently in mining, quarrying, and civil construction. ANFO is considered blaster cap insensitive, so it requires a primer to be detonated, such as a small amount of dynamite or TNT.

Detonating cord is a thin, plastic tube filled with a small amount of high-grade explosive, with an explosive potential that can be adjusted based on the length of the cord. Det cord, as it is commonly called, can be used on its own, wrapped around an object for use as a cutting charge, or used as a breaching charge to punch a hole in a barrier. It can also be connected to other explosives and used as a means to set off connected charges simultaneously as a high-speed fuse.
Det cord comes in two different sizes: low yield and high yield. Low-yield det cord is often used for special effects in various trideo productions and tends to be used against average material. High-yield det cord is more powerful and can be used on heavier materials. Low-yield det cord has a base Damage Value of 3P per meter; high-yield det cord has a base Damage Value of 6P. For simplicity, add or subtract 1P from the power level of the detonating cord for every one-third of a meter (34cm) added or subtracted to the total length of detonating cord used. For example, if a player only uses one-third of a meter of low-yield detonating cord, the base Damage Value for the detonating cord is 1P.
