I mean, if concealable is where you’re trying to go that’s fine. I prefer a bomb that you can take out in public and show off. Something you can take pride in.
It’s actually more complex. Most military grade munitions do use standard wire colors. Why would a military want to make their weapons hard to arm or disarm for professional soldiers in the field? Some types of military explosives are “booby trapped” or wired “tricky,” but this is usually improvised and not a standard feature- where there is a specific purpose and perceived danger to an enemy gaining control of said weapon. This generally isn’t done though because why would you want your own side to stumble on its own weapon and not know how to safely arm or disarm it, or follow standard procedure and accidentally trigger a weapon? Improvised bomb makers tend to have a “style” they develop. Experimenting with bomb creation can be dangerous, so they are taught or find what works and stick to it. Printed circuits and wireless transmission make wires less needed on modern devices, and allows them to be more compact and harder to detect, or pack more payload for a given size and weight.
