A little component of a really stupid project I'm working on right now, the idea here is to fit five 500lb bombs in a single bomb bay without doing the obvious thing which I've come to realize is as good or better. Is this especially practical? Probably not. Are there better ways to do this? Absolutely. But I came up with this idea first and now I'm legally required to use it. This is still a work in progress and there are some issues I'll need to work out, so please give me some feedback.

CONTROLS: The rack will automatically cycle when you drop a bomb, but you need to activate each level of bombs. The first level is already active, the second level activates with G1, the third with G2 and so on. This can be scaled up if you want more bombs, the build these are from has 14 of these for a total of 70 500lbers.
