In both design and use, this explosive is very similar to the [[M168 Demolition Charge]]. The explosive is compromised of the explosive pack, the charge and the arming handle as well as a keypad. Due to its nature of destroying or clearing larger structures, it is not used on enemy infantry, but to destroy structures such as a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[stealth pylon]].
