According to the Crimewatch reference sheet,

Launching a bomb will trigger Weapon Timer
Hitting a player target with a bomb will trigger PvP Timer

At least in Singularity this is not the case. Noticed that on Singularity while trying something different. Something I couldn't have tested anyway, when Weapon Timer would start. Good for this test, but maybe not good for the transparency of Crimewatch.

EDIT: Using the bomb launcher in a more standard fashion (against players) still doesn't trigger Weapon timer on bomb launch, but PvP Timer when a player get's hit by the bomb.

Interdictors can use their tool completely free from any timers

I don't think dictors ever got a timer for launching their bubbles.

That might be the case. What makes me wonder how those entries made it into the overview of "which actions trigger what timer". Unless there's an updated version of that image, this post appears a little ironic.

Next step: Heavy Interdictors

The reference table states:

Weapon Timer on activating (unscripted) Warp Disruption Field Generator and
PvP Timer on disrupting Warp of players within the Bubble

The first is true, Weapon Timer starts and is kept active while cycling the module
However, there's no PvP Timer triggered by players attempting to warp within the bubble.

Using the Scripted Generator activates Weapon and PvP Timer as to be expected from targetted offensive modules agains player targets.

As a result, the table is more like this.
