To me it kills the immersive aspect when called C-4. Here I am supposedly playing a soldier in another galaxy hundreds of years in the future... and the explosives they use just happen to be called Composition C (C4). So my faction has nanites and all sorts of advanced weaponry, yet our hand placed explosives have the same name as those used during the Vietnam War on planet Earth! Does that mean they also feature a measly detonation velocity of 8,092 m/s (26,550 ft/s) just like those used back on Earth? Because I just can't imagine such an outdated explosive having any effect on a Vanguard!
Just called it a boomer and leave the explosive content to the imagination, problem solved!
/end rant!
