My 2 cents. If folks have a burr up their butt to find out, they can do a search on C4, but I don't believe it should be included. It's not even a weapon. It's a block of plasticene or molding clay with a wax paper wrapper on it. Armorers don't even deal with fake C4, that's the Props department (i.e. the people who make custom watches, alarm clocks, provide the furniture, the pens, the paper, everything that is seen but not worn by the actors). So a propmaster who knows NOTHING about guns, usually is in charge of this fake block of clay with a custom wrapper on it. IN so many scripts, it's called C4 by name, but the props don't look right. It falls into the same category as any IED, booby trap, Semtex, commercial grade demolitions charges used by civilians in building tear down and construction, etc.
