How to Stop Worrying and Love a 1:6 Scale Remote Control Bomb

by Ben Deitz on January 29, 2010 at 06:45 AM

We would never advocate the making of a phony bomb threat, even to get out of a wedding or other dire situation. But potential pranksters (and inmates) have a new, more visceral way to terrorize in the Quanum RTR Bomb System.

The bomb is a 1:6 scale replica that attaches itself to a radio-controlled model airplane, and is released via remote trigger by the user. Upon "detonation," the bomb splits in half, releasing its contents in a cloud of confusion. Anything from chalk dust to homemade "gay bomb" gas can be placed inside, although sadly it does not come with an action figure of Major T. J. "King" Kong of 'Dr. Strangelove' fame.

The kit also includes a spare release plate, allowing you to fashion 1:6 scale replicas of famous bombs throughout history, such as Fat Man, Little Boy, and 'Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.' [From Hobby King, via: Dvice]
