The Official Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Topic

Does Mock Melynx's bomb attack even cause any damage to targets or is it solely used for the catnip effect? I've not once ever seen these bombs stun, flinch, break, etc -- meanwhile False Felyne mask definitely uses REAL bombs that have done everything you'd expect from bombs.

They probably do very little damage. The more important feature of the Mock Melynx mask is that whoever wears it can steal items on melee attack.
