Dead link
I made a note that the link was dead, rather than removing it, since it still should be here to give credit; the page is now inaccessible due to new security rules. -FZ 13:32, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC) I don't know the "security rules" Finn-Zoltan refers to, but it didn't seem sensible to me to leave the US Army Handbook on Explosives and Blast Physics accessible to the public. I also question whether the material is in the public domain. User:BBrown —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.213.192.127 (talk) 00:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Brisance values
A bit confused about this sentence: Brisance values are primarily employed in France and Russia. Does this mean that other countries don't use brisance as a measure? Do they use something else? Limbo socrates 15:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment
While I don't know specifically, it seems like there should be a relatively easy way to simply measure the pressure of the shockwave, and the time after detonation said shock wave arrives at a point (i.e. sensor) a short distance away from the explosion. My bet is you would use piezo electrics or very fast data collection rate strain gages... While I am sure that a number of emperical tests such as the sand test are used, there is no doubt a very scientific method that scientists, rather than army personnel use... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.210.17.11 (talk) 19:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Explosive
We fired a brisant grenade once, don't remember how to write it really. It was basically a rpg which penetrated say a tank's hull and exploded inside the tank. Fired it with a Carl G. Perhaps stuff for the article, ciao Mallerd (talk) 23:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Shock resonance?
Please would someone amplify this term? It seems to be left hanging, as if its meaning were well-known. JBel (talk) 10:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
"Sand crush test"?
The article mentions "the sand crush test" but doesn't define it. It should. -- Dan Griscom (talk) 12:38, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Rewrite
I corrected many technical errors. Brisance is a property solely of (detonating) high explosives, not gun propellants, which are intended not to detonate but to burn or deflagrate. If a gun propellant should detonate (which might happen under some perhaps extreme circumstance), you got a big problem!--MajorHazard (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Brisance. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add Template:Tlx after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add Template:Tlx to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
- Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20100816140250/http://www.freepyroinfo.com:80/Pyrotechnic/Pyrotechnic_Books/Tm_9_1300_214_U_S_Military_Explosives.pdf to http://www.freepyroinfo.com/Pyrotechnic/Pyrotechnic_Books/Tm_9_1300_214_U_S_Military_Explosives.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at Template:Tlx).
