Bombs & Guns
Lets start with what makes this whole mess possible. Ultimate Combat: Alchemist Discovery: Explosive Missile. Page 24.
-Now lets assume said Alchemist has also taken the discovery: Delayed Bomb (Advanced Players Guide).
-Now lets assume said Alchemist has also taken the feat: Implant Bomb (Ultimate Magic)
-Now lets assume said Alchemist has also taken the feat: Remote Bomb (Ultimate Magic).
So here is the scenario: Said Alchemist/Gunslinger hybrid uses "Explosive Missile" to infuse his single handed firearm ammunition with the power of his bomb, and then loads and shoots the weapon.
Mind you the discoveries "Explosive Missile" and "Delayed bomb" do not have an * next to them.
So if he shoots a creature can he use the ammunition to "Implant a bomb" into the subject and then use the "delayed bomb" discovery and remote bomb feat to detonate the bomb.
Also can said Alchemist use the ammunition in a tactical way. Lets say the decide to fire against a stationary object like a tree or wall. Attempting to bury the ammunition into said object and then once again use use the "delayed bomb" discovery and remote bomb feat to detonate the bomb.
Just need some clarification on how all this stuff works together.
Thanks

I don't have time to look up all those rules right now to double-check them, but I have to say: That sounds awesome in nearly every way.
I just imagine some splinter-cell type crap coming from the alchemist. Sneaking into a compound, watching the patrol routes, then quickly placing bombs in strategic positions (from a perch well above the fray) before stealthing to a new location and detonating, not only killing several guards but also creating a distraction as he steals the macguffin.
"Implant Bomb: You may implant a bomb in a willing or helpless creature..."
1. If you attack someone the subject is not willing or helpless ...
2. tree are no creatures.
So the the complet Implant Bomb stuff does not work.
The Explosive Missile and firearm does work and looks fun.
