BallLauncher
The BallLauncher is what players use to shoot the ball (bomb) in Bombing Run games. It is a specialized weapon which is selected automatically when a player picks up the ball. The only way to get rid of the BallLauncher is to shoot the ball. When the player has the ball, he regains health via this weapon.
