Composition [[Wikipedia:C-4 (explosive)|C-4]] is one of the most common forms of plastic explosive (aka plastique) in the world. Like all plastic explosives, the C4 has the consistency of clay, allowing it to be molded into any shape and is incapable of being detonated by anything other than the detonator itself, making it safer. Unlike other plastic explosives, such as the C3, a C4 retains its clay-like consistency in all conditions. These properties have led to it being used worldwide, particularly in the US Army. The C4 is a recurring item in the ''Metal Gear'' series, and it is always required to progress through the game, particularly as the item required to destroy the TX-55 Metal Gear in the first game. | Composition [[Wikipedia:C-4 (explosive)|C-4]] is one of the most common forms of plastic explosive (aka plastique) in the world.
