Rocket wrench.
… what am I looking at here?
I mean, yes, rocket wrench, but ???
Have you ever wanted to unscrew the fuze from a dudded aircraft bomb, but you wanted to do it from far away?
This do that.
But if you’re far away and things go wrong, you won’t get that sweet release of death?
Seriously speaking though, that up close and personal version does look pretty fuckin cursed. I assume the call of the void is strong with EOD folks
One detail I love in the later Ender’s Game books involves teleporting a properly apocalyptic bomb into a very small room with the people who launched it. One of them pops it open and basically clicks Disarm > Are You Sure? > Yes.
I think it’s Ender himself who asks ‘… is that all?’ The guy’s like ‘Oh, yeah. We made it very easy to turn off.’
