UnderConstruction

I noticed several explosives on megalomania's website that mention it, I've been learning about it for a couple of weeks and it seems like something that's worth looking into. I spent five or six hours yesterday figuring the OB of many of the explosives on the site. Since the forum was down it gave me time to expand it considerably. Here's a list of what I have so far, except I fear that several of them may be incorrect because a mistake in finding the molar mass. If megalomania's site gives a mass for the compound in question, you can trust that the OB is right.
Oxygen balance ensures complete detonation and eliminates carbon monoxide and NOx gases, so it's worth expanding upon
This is the formula:
OB=-1600/Mol. Wt. of Compound*[2X*+(Y/2)+m-Z]
where
X=No. of carbon atoms
Y=No. of hydrogen atoms
Z=No. of oxygen atoms
m=No. of metal atoms
