Like other seed-shooting cryoflora, the Bangsticks make use of combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produced by its endosymbiotic [[cryoutines]] to fire seeds and spores into the air. When it comes time to fire its seeds or spores, flesh covering a chitin lens dies to expose it, causing light to be focused hard enough to create a spark. The explosion of the seed-filled “bullet” is unrelated. The fleshy bottom of the bullet is tightly bound, and when launched into the air it pops into a different shape shortly afterwards, creating a powerful but more biological explosive force which shatters the rest of the bullet and distributes the seeds.

In order to thrive in warm sunny environments, the Bangsticks have made the rather unprecedented adaptation to lose all of the lens-like structures of most of the cells of its chitinous exterior. This was an ~~easy~~ mutation, only a matter of the lens shape-encoding genes malfunctioning. Instead, its exterior is structured very similar to crystal flora with more facets, as almost every single lens is replaced with a flat hexagonal face. The only lens left intact is the one responsible for focusing light for combustion in each stem.
