Why can't there be a nuke, but instead of it just being a bomb...

why can't there be a nuke, but instead of it just being a bomb, you build a big thick cone out of tungsten carbide and fire it like a shotgun in one direction. I cant think of a practical use for this weapon, but im sure we will need to have it to take out the aliens mothership some time in the future.

bump

we did that once with a steel plate on accident but it would be exceedingly difficult to actually use it as a weapon when you could just as easily send a MIRV instead and get about the same effect

bump

lol

an MIRV travels at rocket speed

a stream of ions from a nuclear gun travels at reletavistic speeds

try harder

no, I don't think I will try harder
how about you try harder :)

i want you to design a viable weapon based on the description in the OP. i want it on my desk by the morning

faggot

nuclear artillery exists, even some that were standard size and could be fired from existing guns.

You mean like an x ray laser? There have been tests of such devices.

you gibbering leaftard im not talking about firing a nuke out of a gun im talking about using the nuke as propellent in a gun

Look up rods of god. They exist already and are in orbit

>chink not knowing you can’t bump your own thread
Yikes. Ngmi. West Taiwan will take the island soon enough

nothing to do with rods from god you blithering ninny

an xray lazer a la project excalibur uses a nuke to pump an xray lazer in space. no this is nothing like that

Its what you are actually talking about if you weren't a retard tho. Instead of building a cartoonish gun in space and using a nuclear blast to propel a slug they just use the nuclear blast itself as a far more powerful weapon.

A nuclear shotgun? Does each individual pellet produce a nuclear explosion?

Because they don’t exist.

Nukes suck in space

Nukes are just energy. Energy appropriately focused is always effective.
