    At that point you might as well go with the Japanese lunge mine design. If a nuke is gonna go off in my general vicinity I’d want to be as close as possible.

      It doesn’t have to be a bomb. It could be like a demon core. The tank drivers get a blast of gamma but it’s a very small lethal radius.

      The bow is actually a better delivery mechanism than a RPG. It’s slow enough that there is time for the caveman to duck under cover.

        Except it’s going to go straight down with the weight. Makes more sense to launch via slingshot.

          It already violates the size requirements of any atomic weapon we know of (minimum mass for criticality also defines minimum size) so it could be hollow and weigh very little.
