I think I accidentally made it more of an implosion-type. NOTE: This is a proof of concept, not supposed to be powerful. I might make an actual implosion type nuclear weapon.

    no mrboom, i think the pressure from the gun firing is triggering it opposed to the addition of radioactive material to make it critical or super critical mass

    hey eli573, with you thinking its more of an implosion type bomb i assume you thought this cause of the negative pressure after the shock wave (positive pressure). that is actually very realistic as a nuclear bomb does have an initial extrememly powerful shockwave from the expanding air and other gases but it has to contract after that as well, so it creates negative pressure.

    @thomasxin When I made this, I wanted to demonstrate agun-type nuclear weapon, like from the WW2 era. These weapons had small, double digit Kt yields.

    For more boom, stack 4 layers of DEUT with life 239 underneath the PLUT

    I could only use Plutonium, as uranium in this game is U-238, not U-235.
