Line 2:
Conventionally, bombs are associated with [[Stuff Blowing Up]], but then there are special ones with different effects.
Types include [[Smoke Out|Smoke Bombs]], [[Instant Sedation|Knock Out Bombs]], [[Sticky Bomb
Some [[Real Life]] examples are [[Blinded by the Light|flashbangs]], stringer grenades, fireworks (explode into pretty), and the aforementioned smoke grenades. Then there are the infrared-emitting hot-smoke grenades used for targeting IR-sensitive missiles. Or baffling them, it all depends.
Compare and Contrast with some [[Booby Trap

Line 32:
** The vocal countdown is designed to create mayhem, but this also counts as a subversion, because the bomb is an actual explosive, blowing up when it reaches the end of the countdown.
* The [[Star Wars]] [[Expanded Universe]] mentions grenades such as CryoBan ([[Kill It with Ice|freezes stuff]]), "goop" ([[Sticky Situation|fast-setting glue, used to entangle rioters]]) Bothan stun spores (causes disorientation and nausea) and thermal detonators (create [[Sphere of Destruction|Spheres Of Destruction]]).
* ''[[The Stainless Steel Rat]]'' loves nonlethal gas bombs, including blackout-gas ([[Interface Screw|temporary blindness]]), [[Instant Sedation|knockout gas]], lachrymose and regurgitant.<ref>He once said of the latter "The [[Intimidating Revenue Service|IIER]] had made me throw up often enough and I wanted to return the favor"</ref>
* In ''[[Matador Series|The Machiavelli Interface]]'', Emile Khadaji supplies a number of rebel groups with nonlethal weapons, including vomit- and diarrhea-inducing gas bombs.
Line 57:
* ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'' has [[Healing Shiv|grenades that heal]].
* Flashbangs are normally used to disorient people but when ''[[Alan Wake]]'' uses them, they either [[One-Hit Kill]] the normal Taken and possessed objects, or [[Weakened by the Light|deplete the stronger Taken's shadows]] to take 'em down.
* ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' has [[Sticky Bomb
* In ''[[Dragon Age]] Origins'' the grenades simply did area damage, but a spell called the Spirit Bomb turns NPC's into potential explosives that can also infect others.
* ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' presents a wider variety, with bombs that slow, stun and damage, or even revive fallen party members. A few rogue-specific skills are named and defined as bombs, a few more a labeled with a bomb icon and exhibit the same grenade range and visual effects.
Line 65:
* ''[[Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City|Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City]]'': Pheromone Bombs [[Encounter Bait|attract zombies and B.O.W.S.]] to it.
* In ''[[Mass Effect 1]]'', the grenades can be modded to be incendiary grenades, concussion grenades, chemical grenades, flashbangs, and radioactive grenades. In [[Mass Effect 2]], grenades were a much smaller part of gameplay, only available as DLC powers in the form of flashbang grenades and incendiary grenades.
** ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' adds more
* ''[[The Witcher]]'' contains five different types of bombs, manufactured using alchemy just like potions and blade coatings. The only one that acts even remotely like a traditional explosive is Dragon's Dream (releases a cloud of flammable gas that Geralt can detonate with the Igni sign). The other four bombs produce poison, evoke fear, stun, and blind, respectively.
** ''[[The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings]]'' adds a fragmentation bomb, an incendiary bomb, one that releases noxious gas, a light bomb (illuminates the area), and a psychoactive gas bomb.
