the bullet hits the metal and it makes the spark and then boom.

The bullet pierces the dynamite lighting the gunpowder with the spark it creates. Or it works like all movie explosives and a bullet will make anything explode.

Dynamite is highly unstable, and so it’s quite possible to set it off by shooting it.

Also, she lights the fuse before it’s thrown. Hence why it explodes either way.

Edit: As a matter of fact, dynamite is probably one of the only explosives you could set off by shooting it. Dynamite is shock sensitive and uses a blasting cap (or in this case, a bullet) to make it explode. Hence why a lot of people trying to make explosives illegally blow themselves up. Dynamite is very sensitive. It has feelings too!

How does a Genius hamster create a machine out o
 oh wait this game is a fantasy game and nothing in this game is related to the real world.

You’re asking about logic in a game when a rocket hammer doesn’t instantly maul someones bones or skull in

Lol these dummies are trying to explain it with science when in reality its actually just a glass container of fire painted like a dynamite.

Wait, did Noble make it a lot more stable than the previous explosives?

Yes and no. Before dynamite was invented we used blackpowder for comercial explosives. Less volatile than nitroglycerin, but also useless if wet. And very heavy to transport.

Dynamite offered a better explosive in a smaller package, with the minor drawback that you could blow up a traincar if the stick so much as moved a little in transit.

He packed the dynamite with diatomaceous earth (fossilized algae) which helped mitigate that unless the blast cap was popped (by lighting the fuse) or put under immense pressure (like say, a gunshot).

More info than you bargained for, huh?

Also fun fact, apparently the word: jig gle is banned on the forums?

I’d say some kind of programming language is involved in this mystery.

Nah, this is what I am looking for.
I always welcome new facts for the day.

They actually proved C4 won’t blow from shooting it but real TNT is unstable enough that it will blow by shooting it, the difference is what it’s made from.
Just in case someone is interested in knowing more about TNT.

i stopped looking for realism in this game when a hamster started rolling around in a ball.

The bullet triggers the gunpowder and boom.
