Pocket nukes showcase!

Thanks!

I think coilguns are still broken. I've created a successful anti-lasboat boom & zoom craft that can tank 6 to 8 1GW lasers with ~ 4km/s closure rate across 1000km of engagement range, and then spit 6km/s nukes at the lasboats from within 100km as it passes, using a modified version of the above coilgun. I made it way smaller so it can actually track targets and I got rid of the propulsion on the nukes (you can't do terminal guidance on a missile with a 6-10 km/s closure rate and only 1km/s dV with not a lot of acceleration) and inserted a 5kg DU flak bomb ahead of the nuke instead. Works great, but I really don't think the coilgun should work as well as it does- thing runs at 100kW, all the power goes to the turret and loader:

Hollow core is ending up increasing weigh and cost quite allot. Also, U-233 is much much cheaper. Here is my small nuke:

heres the best i could do for lowest possible radius yeild sucks cost sucks weight sucks (relatively) but its skinny! 

dat 666 yeild doe >.>
.2mm wider but significantly more yeild at this level though theres not much point you only need to go to a bit over 3 cm radius to get 95t of yeild which puts this to shame 

My best one

if you use built-in "Inspect" (Ctrl+Shift+C and point to the image in google-pushed browser), then you can find out what is the content of <img src=" tag, and link that via "Link" forum button (the one with a globe and roster).

edited to add: there's a minimum on core mass in real life, lower than that - and any [practical] pressure that you can apply to it with explosive lenses will produce nothing more than a fizzle. So if your intention is for a nuke to be realistic - please do a research on lowest-yield modern-day ones, especially US ones (some data is available); other than that - I recall people using non-realistic "micronukes" as a substitute to armor-eating cumulative charges, specifically stating so. Just saying.
