As long as it doesn't break any jumps or force everyone else to use it, we can look at enabling it again.

With that said... would there be any reason to use default over iron bomber? Or is this just so you can grind pipe trick bonuses easier..

buhh i'm lazy but i'll explain,
regular pipes have larger blast radius yet same explosion strength. IIRC cranck mentioned once that push force falls off evenly over explosion radius, meaning larger radius will cause being closer to the core of a regular pipe having stronger impact over the iron bomber
assuming perfect pipetrick, both will act the same and you're correct bomber will simply be easier to grind, but assuming any imperfection, which is USUALLY the case, pipelauncher will still be stronger...
as far as I can see it, it is not making it easier for the bonus grinders since it's still the worse choice

original is a reskin identical to the RL except the rocket position, iron bomber is a unique weapon with differing stats from stock

if an item is EXACTLY the same as the stock version minus a firing position it should be allowed, but if it is ANY different other than that it should be banned

pretty simple

edit: (unlocks should be banned regardless of whether they help or hinder jumping with their stats)

Well, as it stands we might try to make a fix to suit both parties. So we can re-poll the fix, and see what the final consensus is.
Because right now I don't think the majority want a meta for jumping weapons.

Before the change it was fine because you basically traded blast radius for some gimmicks around grenade jumping which was 100% useless for normal stuff.

Now its just so radically different I think it warrants a ban.

In a perfect world we could possibly have other weapons like this usable only with the timer disabled or something, but that's a whole 'nother issue.
