When your army doesn't have enough planes to bomb a city, you deploy your troops, each soldier carrying one of this things, to the target city. Once your troops arrive at the target location, they throw them as if they were throwing a hammer (olympic kind, not regular hammer, that would be just ridiculous) towards the roof of the target building. Not pictured: see the little hole between the handle and the bomb? That's where the safety pin goes. This is a manual bomb deployment system.
