I was trying to see which bombs do the most straight up damage on the wiki and I came across the Irontech Destroyer and Big Angry Bomb in the process. These two bombs have the same chance to minor stun, knockback, and their damage differs a mere 2 points on the damage charts. Other than the faces and animation of these bombs is there supposed to be a real difference or are these two just the same bomb with cosmetic differences?
Are there any big differences between these?

Irontech is supposed to have a faster fuse and its damage rate should be between Nitronome and Big Angry to act as the middle ground between speed and raw damage.
The Wiki might not be up to date since the general gun and bomb update.
And now for a moment of rock.

Bombing Guide
Read the Bombing Guide on the wiki. It offers fairly detailed comparisons of all bombs.

You're only comparing damage, not radius, charge and fuse time. And 'knockback' is not always the same.

Charge time and blast radius
Charge time and blast radius are the same. BAB has much more knockback, and I'm pretty sure the walk speed while charging is slower. Fuse time on the BAB is slower. The difference in damage is much more than two points.

Honestly, if you're going for a blast bomb I recommend Nitronome. Read the Bombing guide as Bopp said for more details, here it is:

Those are bombs?
I think of them more as paperweights. Very explosive paperweights.
Try not to drop them.
