There's nothing in the description of the article or the book regarding its characteristics or components to suggest that this is a shaped charge. It's just a demo charge. Shaped charges are large cylindrical affairs, and usually describe various configurations deployed from the business end of a tank's main gun, a rocket launcher, or bomblet dispensers. Shaped charges ARE used in the demolition of buildings, but those are built to spec for individual use, and do not involve bricks of high-ex or backpacks full of explosive compound that are fuzed and dropped on site.

In other words, C-12 is the explosive, it can likely be made into a shaped charge by using metal cones/domes to concentrate the blast for taking out armor or concrete with rebar in buildings. "Shaping" a charge is done only if the explosion is meant to damage something hard on ONE side, that will not be useful for building demolition where the explosion is multidirectional. "Shaped" is simply a modifier, not a explosive.[[User:Lian 512|Lian 512]] ([[User talk:Lian 512|talk]])
