K, C, and R.E. factors?

I have a question that I can’t find an answer to. I’ve read the TM’s, FM’s, and other books, as well as searched the web and nothing. I’m hoping someone here will know.

In the breaching formula P = R^3 x K x C. I found that the Navy uses different K and C values than the Army. They also use a much different R.E. factor. Does anyone know why? At first I though that they all must offset one another and would end with the same solution but they don’t. In one reasonable scenario, R=4, it makes a difference in the solution of 40, just for one charge. The Navy being on the low side.

I’m probably just missing something stupid but I can’t see what that is. Sorry I didn’t include many details. I know you can get this stuff off the shelf but I didn’t want to piss anyone off. If you want the Navy’s reference info to look at PM me, the pdf is available online. I'm not going to link it here for the kids to get.

This isn’t intended to be a HOW TO thread so lets not go there. If this question is out of line please delete it.

Thanks
