    Question car bomb

    I need to know if there is a type of bomb that can be attached quickly to a car and detonated from a distance. I've heard the term "magnetic" bomb, but according to what I've read on the internet, that doesn't refer to the way it is attached. That's really the type of bomb I need to make my story work. Anybody know of anything like that?

    C-4 is a malleable explosive that can adhere to almost any surface. There are two ways to prime it for detonation. One, run a couple of laps of det cord around the C-4, cut a small notch out of the explosive, and press the end of the cord into it, shaping the explosive over the top of it to keep it in place. Two, cut a circular hole in the explosive, insert a blasting cap, and again shape the explosive over the cap to secure it.

    Then, attach to petrol tank, walk away a safe distance, and detonate when ready.

    Thank you, Sam. So, if the bad guys make the bomb the way you described with the c-4 and the blasting cap, could they attach it...say under a fender with some type of magnet? I need for them to be able to walk by a car, quickly stick the bomb somewhere out of sight and walk away.

    C-4 is a military explosive designed to adhere to almost any surface. You wouldn't need a magnet. Mash it into the fender. It would take about five seconds maximum.

    Bomb on te gas tank would be more effective, but a bomb on the fender/bumper near the gas tank might do it too.
    Looking to ignite the fuel to help destroy the car/evidence.

    If just looking to kill the driver, stick it to the door if it being visible isn't a problem, even better a shape charge under the person being blown up.

    If c4 is a problem for the attacker to get, then there are other things to make an IED.
