{{Era|FOR}}

The [[UNSC]] '''C-12 Shaped-charges''' or '''C-12 SCs''' are used mainly for heavy demolitions and can also be used as weapons. This compound is extremely dangerous and very volatile. A small 4x4x4 inch cube alone can level a five story building. It's solid, but malleable enough where it can be shaped or bent into different forms to stick to surfaces better and is detonated with electroshock detonator sticks or remote detonators.

C-12 is also hefted in medium sized backpacks called "Damage Packs" or "Blow Packs". Two Damage Packs contain enough C-12 to blow through three meters of [[UNSC]] standard armor plating.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 81</ref>

During the first assault of the [[rebel]]s on the [[Eridanus]] System, which happened to be the [[Spartan]]'s first real mission, [[Sam]] hefted two medium-sized backpacks full of these. After capturing the leader, [[Colonel Robert Watts]], [[Sam]] used these to blow clean through the base’s pressure doors. However, in doing so, he also murdered uncountable "civilians", or non-soldier sympathizers.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 93</ref> 

==Trivia==

*During [[World War II]], there was a reasonably powerful explosive called C-2, which is a precursor to the present day C-4, Semtex and possibly to C-12.

-'''C-12 shaped charges''' are used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] for heavy demolitions, typically as a military explosive. The C-12 compound is extremely dangerous and very volatile. A small 4x4x4 inch cube alone can level a five-story building in seconds. It is solid, but is malleable enough that it can be shaped or bent into different forms to stick to surfaces better and fit into tight spots and is detonated with electric shock detonator sticks or remote detonators.

 ==Trivia==
-As C-4 is short for "Composition 4", it is probable that C-12 means "Composition 12". It is likely that "C-12" is a codename based on the order in which it was developed, not an indicator of its explosive power. In reality, C-2  has more explosive power than C-4, but it is also more unstable, and thus newer compositions were designed for better stability and malleability.
