burster
Thing that pops
A burster is something that bursts or causes bursting.
In office technology, a burster is a machine that separates continuous-form paper along its perforations: The printer room still has an old burster from the mainframe days.
In astronomy, a burster is a celestial object that emits sudden bursts of radiation.
In military use, a burster is the explosive charge inside a shell or bomb that causes it to rupture.
