is it towed or self-motivated

Rockstar · 05-10-20, 11:05 AM

No it is not designed to be towed to its target. And is only self motivated in the sense that once deployed no outside influence could stop it.

clear as mud

Aktungbby · 05-10-20, 11:36 AM

nuclear shell?

Rockstar · 05-10-20, 11:53 AM

Nuclear yes, assuming you mean artillery shell no

hint: though only a 1/4 of the object is shown in the picture the object is nearly 30 inches in diameter. It's barrel is only 3 inches in diameter.

SHOULD I POUR MYSELF A MANHATTAN ON THIS ONE?

Rockstar · 05-10-20, 12:37 PM

Its still the weekend so Drink up!

The bomb (Little Boy) was detonated by radio altimeter firing the bullet into the target via a high powered aircraft gun. The gun was a 3" diameter, six feet long anti-aircraft barrel that had been bored out to 4" to accommodate the bullet. It weighed about 450 kg, and used Cordite, a conventional artillery smokeless powder, as propellant.

To reduce the possibility of the bullet being driven into the target by a plane crash, the fit of the barrel was intentionally made very tight. The bullet had to be rammed into the breech to assemble the weapon, and about 70,000 lb were required to drive it forward. Even with this precaution, a plane crash which caused the weapon to strike a hard surface could conceivably produce the 500 Gs of acceleration required to fire the bullet, and implode the weapon.
Little Boy was a terribly unsafe weapon design. Once the gun was loaded with the cordite propellant, anything that ignited it would cause a full yield explosion of the bomb. For this reason, the propellant was not loaded into the weapon on the ground. Instead, one of the bombers placed the cordite in the gun after take-off in case a crash or fire occurred.

Over too you

More cars? Wow, Aktungbby is quite the car enthusiast.
Is it an American made car?

EDIT: I *think* I figured it out. Is it the Messerschmitt Kr 200?
I vaguely remember seeing it at a car show with my grandpa. Gramps is also a car enthusiast.

Aktungbby · 05-10-20, 06:50 PM
