<span style="font-size:12.0pt;    font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Bomb mechanics
The mechanics of the bomber is that of a three fingered claw and in the center would be a flint on the side of a small frizzen rod. The mechanics worked is simple. The rod is pushed down and has some teeth to allow the claw to open. While the claw is opening the frizzen rod would strike the flint causing it to spark thus lighting the Seigschreck.
