A satchel charge is a demolitions device, primarily intended for use in combat. They have been utilized by the United Nations Space Command.
Usage
Marines use satchel charges to clear large, reinforced doors, or obstacles out of the way, although they are also often used as offensive weapons to dislodge dug-in enemy troops.
Spartan-IIs Vinh-030 and Isaac-039 used satchel charges during the Fall of Reach to hold back the Covenant entering ONI's CASTLE Base, giving the others time to retreat further into the base. However, they disappeared in the blast and were presumed dead.[2]
During Operation: SPEARBREAKER, satchel charges were used by forces from the UNSC Spirit of Fire to destroy a Forerunner Despair-class fighter to keep the Banished from using it against the ship.
Trivia
It is possible that the M383C Linear Shaped Charge Demolition Kit functions as a satchel charge.
