Sodium azide
Is not used in blasting caps/detonators, it is used in the manufacture of lead azide but isn't a reliable/used primary explosive itself. I'm going to remove it from the list of explosives used in blasting caps.--84.163.111.92 (talk) 12:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Detonator vs Blasting Cap
Are these articles about the same thing? should they be merged? - 203.23.210.123 (talk) 16:02, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Detonator
The article blasting cap is very detailed. The article detonator can be merged with this. So the readers wouldn't be confused. Balaji (Let's talk) 13:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC) ✅

DDNP
The second sentence in the fifth paragraph, concerning DDNP, appears to be missing information. If there happens to be an expert visiting this page, please take a look.--Paraballo (talk) 02:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Some details I'd like to see added
How much current does an electric blasting cap need to explode? How are they shipped? Are they packed with spacing between them so if one explodes they don't all go? How are they inserted into the explosive charge? What safety procedures are used? How much explosive energy does a cap have? -- Chetvorno TALK 05:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
