Addon: asr_throwablesatchel
Version: 1.2
Developer(s): Robalo [AS]
Description: 
Allows a demolition expert (usually engineers and special forces soldiers) to convert a regular satchel into a throwable one and back.
To convert, you must first select it (cycle weapons until the satchel is selected) then use the scroll menu action.
It can then be thrown over a very short range (max 10m) in the way grenades are used.
You can use it to blow stuff up when you can't get there and set it manually,
or like a last-resort AT weapon, for example to throw demo on top of a tank that's on the other side of the wall, or from a roof.
Use your imagination, be creative :) Once you throw it, quickly get away and cover yourself from the blast. 
For simplicity, the fuse is very short, preset to burn in 10 seconds and it cannot be adjusted.
The explosive properties are unchanged from a regular satchel.

It is heavily recommended that this addon is installed on all machines in a multiplayer game for fairness and stability.
