[QUOTE="slobster, post: 6021590, member: 6693711"] This is 'Merica we're talking about here. After the mass die-offs, there should be enough small arms left over to outfit every man, woman, and child like Rambo. ;) I was talking about a variant of the Fat Boy design, a gun-type Uranium fission device. From my understanding, it's quite easy to build; you need two subcritical hunks of enriched uranium (easily scavenged from the thousands of now-defunct devices protected by useless electronic security) and what is basically a cannon, which we've seen that they have the technology to build. But hey, not a nuclear engineer here. Of course them building a nuke from scavenged parts is as believable (to me) as all the electricity in the world blinking out simultaneously and forever, so there you go. EDIT: I've always used "nuke" as a generic slang term for nuclear weapon, with no distinction between fission and fusion devices. I've never heard anyone distinguish between the two with it before.
