I don’t understand why you would need to join lines in this situation. Why not run the line from the explosive all the way to the firing device?

- IggleSniggle 3y agoNot necessarily for explosives, or you might want to wire your explosive into eg a switch to ensure it triggers under the correct conditions. From TFV, they are an invention of a saboteur division. I guess you could use them for a number of other options, like tapping a line, although you'd probably be better off just twisting the wires in that scenario.
- alt227 3y agoMaybe you only have several pieces of wire which are all shorter than the distance you need to run it?
- mewse-hn 3y agoYou are a saboteur trying to blow up nazi assets in occupied territory. The only equipment you're able to bring to the site of detonation is stuff that will be unobtrusive under your street clothes, since the enemy and collaborators are everywhere. Wire itself is considered war materiel and not readily available. Your question kind of answers itself - if they could run the wire all the way between detonator and blasting cap then they wouldn't have to splice it.
