The casing for a trip-wire bomb.

Trip-wire bomb casings were a component that was used in the crafting of bombs by Ottoman Assassins, that triggered an explosion when a guard or a civilian stepped on the wires which the finished bomb was set with.

As the wires needed to be planted into the ground, they took 3 seconds to arm, and were best used to eliminate roaming patrols, as well as proving useful when placed in a trap location. For instance, as some Templar Den captains fled when they spotted the Assassin Ezio Auditore, a lethal trip-wire bomb could be placed on their route back to their hiding place.

In terms of bomb-crafting, trip-wire casings could be used in conjunction with any gunpowder type or ingredient.
