Here are some suggestions due to the fact bombs barely get other types of damage.

Elemental blast bomb: Deciboom bomb range of each bomb is the same as the vaporizer lines. basics: The effects look like a bunch of wire frame lines squiggling. All enemies are attacked while the effect is there.

2* Musicboom bomb
A weapon created from the remains of a amp. It creates a sonic boom.
The range is the same as a Vaporizer

3*Deciboom bomb
A Musicboom that goes over 1000 decibells.
Range is MKII

4* Sonicboom bomb
Using mod callibrators and some Blast Powder really makes an improvement with this bomb. The soundwaves move at mach 1!
Range is Atominizer

5* Ultraboom MagnaSonic
A collection of soundwaves that move at Mach 4 and can shatter whole ears!
Range is 5* Vaporizer

Piercing Vortex bomb: Windstorm Charge. Stun Piercing Graviton. The enermies don't explode in the vortex but stay even after the end. Enemies Spin in vortex like a carosel. It causes dmg while in the vortex to compesate for the lack of explosions.

3* Windstorm Charge
A non explosive bomb that uses suction to pull enemies in and causes nausia

4* Windstorm Bomb
An unknown piece of advanced technology that sucks enemies into a trap. May cause nausia and extreme slugging.

5* Windstorm Vortex
A very powerful Windstorm Bomb that uses Sun Silver to make its strength like a Gale force hurricane.

Shadow Haze/Shard and Blast coming soon!

Shadow Haze bombs would be

Shadow Haze bombs would be Curse bombs, presumably, as that's the only Shadow-associated status effect (which is what Haze bombs are for, remember); I think it's come up before, and general consensus was that any halfway effective Curse AoE weapon would be ludicrously overpowered. Shadow/Shard - so, Shadow/Piercing - would likely get very little use due to how damage groupings work; witness the rock-bottom popularity of the Blackhawk, probably amongst the least-used guns in the game.

I'm unclear as to how the wind bombs would work - do they just spin enemies in their radius (which would be a pitiless nightmare for players), or just suck them in and leave them (which sounds like a standard Vortex bomb without the damage)?

Elemental Blast bombs might be a thing, though. I kind of like the sonic boom effect idea.

@Efful

The windbombs suck enemies in, and while it's there It causes damage, sometimes Stun and spinning them in there like a carosel.

I would like a piercing

I would like a piercing Vortex, and a Curse Haze, but thats about it...

maybe a pure, none-type, solid damage haze too, but that could be broken when used in unison with freeze haze....
