Setting the scene: smell and taste
I'm running along at full descriptive tilt and come to the realization that I have no idea how to describe spent explosives. I improvised it as a sharp burnt odor hanging in the air and they fell for it!
Still, what do spent explosives smell like; C4, Semtec, dynamite. Do they have a distinct odor when you pull them from the wrapper for that matter? Is it so strong you'll taste it as well? Thanks, chris

tank ammo is ammonia based.

To me, C4 smells like clay or Play-Doh -- but not quite. And I've never been able to put that "not quite" into words.
As far as putting better descriptions of the area and items -- that's an old D&D DM's trick, and useful in any RPG.

It's been nearly 20 years since I played with that stuff and I haven't a clue what it smelt like after all this time.
However I do remember the nasty headache PETN inflicts upon you when you get it near your face - even just transfer on your hands is enough.
