Weapons & Equip The Carpet Bomb

[Creeper da Snek]

Alright. So I was looking around in the Suggestions Forum, and I saw this. I realized that the possibilities of what could happen with bombs
were endless...So, as a result, I decided to make this.
The Carpet Bomb:

[Combat Mode and Excavation Mode respectively.]
(base sprite courtesy of @Tsintzask, I sped them up and added a second one)
15 Throwing Damage
Insane Knockback (11)
4% Critical Strike Chance
Varying Velocity
Slow Speed (34)

Rarity
12.5% Chance not to consume ammo.
Sold by the Demolitionist during a Hardmode Blood Moon.

"So what is the Carpet Bomb?", you may ask. Well, it is a special throwing weapon that behaves much like the Bone Glove. The ammunition? Grenades, Bombs, Dynamite, Explosives, and all variations of them. Please note that this is NOT a Rocket Launcher, and will not benefit from any Ranged Bonuses.

Ammuntition| Damage | Knockback | Velocity | Special Effect

Grenade | 60 | Very Strong (8) | Average | N/A

Sticky Grenade | 60 | Very Strong (6) | Slow | Sticks to enemies or the ground, then explodes; kind of like a poor man's Proximity Mine Launcher

Bouncy Grenade (

) | 65 | Very Strong (8) | Average | Bounces 4 times or hits an enemy before exploding.

Beenade | 41 (Bees do 14) | Extremely Weak (1) | Average | Explosion releases homing bees, bees do a tiny explosion upon contact with an enemy.

Happy Grenade | 30 | Average (6) | Average | Confetti is produced upon explosion.
Speedy Grenade (From here !) | 34 | Very Strong (8) | Very Fast | Has a chance to pierce, creating two explosions.

Bomb | 75 | Insane (11) | Slow | N/A

Sticky Bomb | 75 | Insane (11) | Very Slow | See Sticky Grenade.

Bouncy Bomb (

) | 75 | Insane (11) | Slow | Bounces 3 times or hits an enemy before exploding.

Bomb Fish (

) | 80 | Insane (11) | Slow | Releases shrapnel that does 10 damage.

Speedy Bomb (From here !) | 50 | Insane (11) | Fast | See Speedy Grenade.

Dynamite | 175 | Insane (23) | Extremly Slow | N/A

Sticky Dynamite | 175 | Insane (23) | Snail | See Sticky Grenade

Bouncy Dynamite (

) | 175 | Insane (23) | Extremly Slow | See Bouncy Bomb.

Holy Hand Grenade (

) | 600 | Insane (54) | Snail (240) | Fires much slower than the other explosives to balance the freakishly high damage. Makes a "Hallelujah!" sound upon exploding, just like when thrown.

And that's it! Criticize away, and if you want, make a sprite or suggest an explosive be added!

How will the bombs be fired if you have multiple in your inventory? Like, left right, up down?

Also, you should rename it to "Carpet Bomb"?

a) Bombs will be fired like any other ammunition, going from top Ammo slot to Bottom, then Top-Left of inventory to Bottom-Right.
b) I'll rename it, but only because the name I put sucks

So far I don't really get it's use, it behaves just like throwing the normal ones except it does more damage and a small chance to not consume it?
Sorry, but I havn't really understanded what you were trying to suggest at the moment.

(Liking it because of been a throwing expansion suggestion though)

To be entirely honest, the concept was a gun that could fire bombs at high speeds. Then again...Didn't really stick to that with some bombs and most dynamite, but it's really just a bomb launcher.

 

[Creeper da Snek]

Maybe if you fired a bomb out of the cannon it wouldn't explode tiles...? Just an idea.

But where's the fun in that?

 

[Dudwrestler]

If it exploded tiles it would be better of as an excavation tool not a weapon I would think make it explode on contact with an enemy. Also how fast cause if this is pre hard-mode then it would be op shooting out dynamite at high speeds I can see how that would become op.

Oh sorry about that guess i didn't read it that much through. Also I have a grenade you missed although it is not a very commonly used grenade it is the holy hand grenade. It does a crap ton of damage.

Oh yeah, that thing from Mobile...Thanks for telling me!

I'm bad at spriting, but here you go.

Edit: Made a slightly better one.

Edit 2: Made a different variant.
