'''C-7 foaming explosive''' is a highly explosive compound that is used in demolitions by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces. It is comprised of various chemicals that react to a signal electrical current shock sent through a detonation switch. It is liquid in vacuum, but once contact with a hard surface and oxygen occurs, it becomes a foaming, semi-solid adhesive resin.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 284''</ref>

Its most notable use is when Corporal [[Locklear]] used it to destroy the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal]] (the reason why the Covenant were chasing them), leading to his death.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
C-4 is short for "Composition 4", therefore it is likely that C-7 means "Composition 7." It is also likely that it is simply a codename based on the order in which it was developed, not an indicator of its explosive power.
*In the present, there is a very effective explosive called C-4, possibly a precursor of C-7.
*It is mentioned only once when [[Master Chief]] talked about his training as a [[Spartan]].
*The most likely reason C-7 was developed was so that, instead of lugging around big, blocky charges, the users would be able, to simply spray it onto the surface.
*C-7 could be another [[7]] refrence
