Tips and Tricks

I use have my character carry demo cord for cutting though fences (I read about it in one of Phoenix Force books). I don't know if it would work in really life, but it all seem to do the trick in Twilight.

Det cord is great stuff for making a great many inconveniences go away. Besides the Vietnam era tree cutting/LZ clearing function, it's used today for all sorts of breaching charges -- besides linear charges (like you'd use to slice an entire door away from its hinges/frame, or cut a fence) you can always stack or loop strips of it one next to another to create a charge with more surface area for doing things like blowing door locks, etc. Incredibly versatile stuff, and really easy to work with.

Guys with a knowledge of demo in T2K would, situation permitting and requiring, might carry a couple breaching charges as part of their day to day walking around load for popping door locks -- never know when you might really, really need to get off the street and such.

I don't know; we were never taught to use it on a fence. But there is something called incendiary, or thermite paste that would definitely work.
