Intent: To create a discreet explosive device for use with the Mandalorian Clan's turkeys.
Development Thread: If Necessary
Manufacturer: Rusty's Custom Firearms and Cutlery
Model: IET
Affiliation: Mandalorian Clans
Modularity: Selectable Yield
Production: Limited
Material: Explosives, durasteel, detonator, compressed gas canister, turkey
Strengths:
- People expect many things from turkeys. They do not expect them to explode.
- Simple to employ. Stuffing a turkey is a skill any sufficiently skilled chef learns early.
- Yield can be scaled to meet the needs of the mission.
- For safety reasons, we recommend sedating the turkey beforehand.
- Turkeys are not known to be the smartest birds in the land. Use with caution.
- Someone is going to have to stick their hand up a turkey's bum.
Description: The Dantooine Plains Turkey is a majestic bird, and [member="Ra Vizsla"] just hired us to shove a bomb up its ass. Technically speaking, turkeys have cloaca, but that's not the point. In order to ensure the device is not detected beforehand, it must be stored discreetly, and the easiest way to do that is to insert it into the bird's body cavity.
In order to install the device, we highly recommend the bird be sedated. The Dantooine Plains Turkey is large, and large birds can easily injure their handlers. And since the handler is going to have his hand in a very sensitive location, one can surmise that a fully alert Dantooine Plains Turkey would object. Violently.
The IET is an obblong durasteel cylinder, contoured for easy insertion. It's roughly 30 centimeters long, and 10 centimeters wide. The Dantooine Plans Turkey's unusual size makes the use of this device possible; attempting to use it on a smaller creature would fail miserably. The inside of the IET is hollow, and is accessed through a panel on the rear of the device. Simply stuff the casing with the preferred explosive medium, be it detonite, an improvised mixture such as ANFO, baradium, or even thermite, if one wishes their turkey to be well done.
Once the sedatives wear off, the turkey will be quite cross. Simply point them in a direction and nature will take over. The bird will likely run as far away as possible as fast as its delicious legs will carry. Once they get within range, simply transmit the detonation command, and the universal detonator within the device will set off the explosive charge. Each device comes with a compressed gas canister in the nose. If the mass of the turkey would interfere with the explosion, the gas canister may be set to eject the device from the bird beforehand, allowing it to explode unimpeded.
