Does anyone have a reasonable approximation of W54 (or whatever is the smallest known nuclear device) they could share?
I'm on a quest to purge my armoury of Holy Hand Grenades.

I mean there's also UCLR Swift, a 622 mm long, 127 mm diameter nuclear shell, weighing in at 43.5 kg. It says it had a 190 ton initial fission explosion but a 1970's design could do a kiloton. Of the W82 that was a 155mm shell that had a yield of 2 kilotons.

I extra-realified my existing gun-fired nuke. Pure fission design without hollow core for structural soundness and simple construction. Yield is only 100t and it's not based on any particular real device but it might make a decent base to scale up. Uses modded TATB explosive. |

Yeah, I've seen smaller, but that's probably the limit of *realistic* designs. I remember spending hours trying to design a nuke small enough to fit in a standard 40mm grenade launcher lol

TBH I expected something along the lines of 20kg and 1kt.
I know that CDE doesn't simulate nukes fully realistically so I'm wary of stuff that is merely legit by game's rules.
