Bunker Buster

A bunker-busting bomb modified by Charlotte, transported with Donald, and shot in its cone just before the ground above lurches.

Story so far

Charlotte estimated that the bunker busters weighed sixty kilos. She removed this bomb’s altimeter controls and safety overrides, explaining that a plastic tag had to be pulled from its nose cone to arm it. She and Donald loaded it onto a hand truck.

The bomb later falls off the hand truck and rolls toward a wall without breaking apart. Donald shoots its cone immediately before the ground above lurches.
