I was laughing my ass of when Marq (I think it was Jesus) was testing these. So many explosions for a single explosion. I agree it's ridiculous. I don't see any practical application for an erebite pipebomb. I'm not sure it needs to be practical.
That being said. I like the change to pipe bombs. It's now a combo effect of chemical and frame. This is far better than just shoving rocks in a tube and saying 'lol it explodes'. If I needed something better than steel/bp I'd go with ps/NI3. Those shouldn't give too much trouble.
I dunno. Maybe upping the power of the erebite pipebomb? I like that it's stupidly hard to make, but I think you should be properly rewarded with more than bragging rights for the associated difficulty and accepted stupidity of welding fucking erebite. TTVs only require access and logistics. Horrible chembombs require a pod and a little know-how. Hellthrowers are the same. If I remember how eb/bp pipebombs were, the damage didn't come close to any of those.
