Also, a Molotov cocktail is commonly referred to as a type of bomb:
> A Molotov cocktail, also known as a petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, bottle bomb, poor man's grenade, fire bomb (not to be confused with an actual fire bomb), fire bottle or just Molotov, sometimes shortened as Molly, is a generic name used for a variety of bottle-based improvised incendiary weapons.

In my experience, it works very well.

Interestingly these do use the term bomb and explosive which contradict the comment you originally replied to. But it is true they are mere footnote stories.
