I knew if I posted a speed that someone would post the actual speed of an explosion. Soooo if an explosion expands at 8800 meters/s, THEN we can assume that a human could not exceed 8790 meters/s!!!

Good god... 8800 meters a second is orbital velocity! Humans, nor any other flesh & blood creature, can't possibly run at a measurable fraction of that.

And C4 isn't really the most powerful of high explosives. It's just a relatively cheap/easy to manufacture explosive that is powerful enough for what the military wants to do with it. More exotic explosives could probably double that velocity.
