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 electro-shock 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.[1]
