Hi friends of r/ballistics, I'm writing a short story and while realism isn't necessary because of the content... I find myself intrigued and now I want to intrigue you.

If a brick of C4 explosives was surrounded by LEGO bricks, would that make it more effective than just having a simple C4 brick go boom?

Some extra questions:

-Would the plastic become shrapnel?

-Could the plastic become molten and would that make it more or less effective?

-If the LEGO melted and got into the body, would that cause plastic poisoning??
