Igniter/Signaller Aseemblies for Pipebombs

[ferriswheel1]

What exactly is the difference between a pipebomb and a beaker assembly?
I've noticed my black-powder beaker assembly didn't really pop like I'd expect.

afaik pipe bombs apply a spark/emit WAY WAY WAY more heat to their reagents when they go off and may use different scaling code altogether
whereas beaker assemblies are nefariously fucking difficult to get to behave when it comes to igniting reagents in my experience

I can confirm that is definitely the current situation, a 100-unit blackpowder beaker assembly does damage comparable to a welding fuel pipe bomb.

Makes sense from a certain perspective: Pipe bombs contain their chemicals in a smaller, confined space surrounded by shrapnel-making material. Beakers are glass jars with a lighter attached.
