Hand-held bomb
- "Quite little bombs, but effective enough to, say, wreck ships or disperse a camp."
- ―Leonardo da Vinci.[src]
The Hand-held bombs were small explosive devices designed and manufactured by Leonardo da Vinci. Consisting of a small, steel ball filled with sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate, they also possessed a small fuse which required lighting before the device could be detonated.
History
The bombs were first used against Cesare Borgia's diehards, who had amassed a sizable military force in the city of Valencia.[1]
During the attack on Valencia, Ezio Auditore and Niccolò Machiavelli, each equipped with ten hand-held bombs, brought chaos to Cesare's military forces. They destroyed twelve Borgia ships, and an entire military encampment.[1]
Upon traveling to Constantinople, Ezio crafted and used a variety of other bombs, similar to those made by Leonardo.[2]
