Bombs are kind of a big deal because:
We've had people use them before in idiotic suicide bombings in a tryhard way to kill traitors/changelings/wizards (ESPECIALLY wizards) and they wind up missing often. And whether or not they actually do get the traitor this renders a good chunk of the station uninhabitable with possible friendly fire, broken shit, and alot of pissed off people because now they can't use whatever equipment the bomb affected because of the dick or they themselves were killed by the explosion.
Like other people said, an ill placed bomb can sort of bring a round to a halt.
Recreatable shit like laser guns are mitigatable compared to the permanent effect on bombs. Lasers are down to just one guy, and it can be fixed with first aid or cloning. Bombs can gib people and damages the station on a pretty significant scale.
Try and get creative with them, damn. it's not like selling them is the ONLY thing you can do with them as a non-traitor.
