Re: what is an electric match???
A electrical match is used in gunpowder bombs and other things that is easy ignitible.
A blasting cap is used for high explosives and is similar to a detonator.
That should clear things up!

Okay..........................
I'm going to explain this to you one more time:
A electric match does not explode but gives a little spark/flame. It's in no way similar to a blast cap because, a blast cap explodes and produces a large shockwave that again detonates the explosive.
Hope you understand it this time!!!
