Blasting Charges on steroids. The Demolition Charge is a short range explosive carried primarily by the [[Imperial Guard]]. It is effective simply because of its strength but has a dangerously short range (as far as a person can throw it). This short range makes it just as dangerous for the attacker as it is for the defender.

"Demo Charges" are primarily used to damage or destroy tanks, fortifications and buildings. However, it can also act as anti-personnel weapons, although the power of the typical explosive charge would be a tad overkill and a waste of explosives.

A standard-type charge looks similar to a flattened cylinder and weighs around two kilos and detonates upon impact after being activated and thrown. Its lethality-sphere is supposed to be around twenty meters. Demolition charges are not always standardized, however, and often are actually improvised in the field. As a result, there are numerous variances in weight, appearance and detonation method. A common improvised demolition charge is simply a group of tube-charges taped together and set off remotely by wire or timed detonation-tape.

Guardsmen who volunteer to carry a demolition charge are authorized to request [[Troll|better food and ration allowances.]] The most prominent users of these are the [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]], who are presumed to look at the job of holding demo charges as "Hey, free food!" and hotly desire the position accordingly.
