Pipe Bomb

The Pipe Bomb is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 14.2.0 update for Pixel Gun 3D and 4.2.0 for Pixel Gun World as part of the Cops vs. Criminals themed.
== Appearance ==
It appears as a grey pipe with two dark grey ends and a fuze on the top emitting a yellow spark.
It also has the words 'HAHA' in red scratched into the side of the pipe.
When detonated, it launches shrapnel in all directions, dealing bleeding to anyone caught in its radius.
== Strategy ==
The gadget will severely damage enemies caught in its blast radius, dealing additional Frag Damage for those farther away from the blast.
=== Tips ===
* The user throw the bomb at the arc, meaning it cannot reach far distances, use this at close-medium range.
* Use it when there are multiple targets in one place, you will get multiple kills.
* Try throwing the grenade in the middle of the battlefield while players are fighting, the frag damage will hit some users and can help cripple them if they are close enough.
* Use this to weaken heavily armored enemies, finish them off shortly after they are crippled.
* Try to avoid throwing the gadget near objects as the shrapnel will hit the object, lessening the range of the fragmentation.
* It is effective in compact areas such as in rooms in indoor maps, as the blast can hit anyone caught inside.
* It has a 3 second fuze, with a 2 second throwing delay.
=== Counters ===
* Run behind cover to avoid being hit by the blast of shrapnel.
* Quickly switch to a high mobility weapon and flee if you see a bomb being thrown at your direction.
* If hit by the explosion, try backing away from the fight and heal up.
* Once you see the user throw it, run away from its arc.
== Trivia ==
* According to its weapon file, the pipe bomb is a common makeshift explosive used by the Criminals, due to its low-cost and high effectiveness.
* Despite having a lit fuze, it will never detonate until the bomb is thrown.
* Like most Throwing gadgets, it cannot be detonated by attacking it.
