    C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive known as Composition C.

    Because it is the fourth version of the plastic explosive. We used C1 thru C3 in the past.

    Composition 2 (C2) was the popular plastic explosive in World War II. And I hope you can take it from there.

    Let me be like everyone else and give you a smartass answer while ignoring your actual question: Why is your name joe and not mike?
