why do bombs in fiction always seem to be a round black thing with a fuse sticking out of it
or sometimes just a stick of dynamite, if the fiction is a western
like is there a specific real-world bomb design that that's meant to represent? we could see it as like, a bomb designed to be launched out of a cannon
@typhlosion of course nowadays high explosives are more likely to be used than black powder. stuff like anfo and c4 doesn't need a casing in order to make it explode
@typhlosion huh! fascinating, thanks for the link!
seems my thought that it makes sense for something shot out of a cannon was pretty spot-on, except it was a mortar instead of a cannon
