Well, depending on the mission they&#8217;re critical computer or missile parts, a radio telephone, a transmitter for secret messages, pieces of navigation equipment, or any of a thousand other things. If we&#8217;re pulling out a bomb expect to go looking for the pieces in a race before the other team can find them or bet that your team needs to carry them across the field and keep them safe and secret. Perhaps you&#8217;ll get a clue to a secondary objective but only if you can find the missing pieces, or maybe you don&#8217;t dare touch them and need to escort a specialist to figure out what to do with them. Not only do we rarely use them the same way twice, but if we&#8217;re pulling out a bomb we&#8217;re probably creating a custom scenario for your group right there in front of you that&#8217;s designed to highlight exactly the things your particular group is having the most fun with.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, our &#8220;bombs&#8221; are rarely bombs, but they&#8217;re always fun and a perfect example of what we mean when we say that <a title=\"FAQ: Why do you use so many props on your laser tag field?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mikescombatgames.com\/laser-tag-blog\/2013\/03\/faq-why-do-you-use-so-many-props-on-your-laser-tag-field\/\" target=\"_blank\">the guns aren&#8217;t the point<\/a> of the play on the field.
