What Happens If You Shoot A Nuke? 🤔
If a nuke is being dropped on your city and you try to shoot it down, some people think that would make it explode. But after piercing the armor, the bullet would have to ignite a layer of explosives that surround the core. And this is what would set off the nuclear explosion. But this layer of explosives is incredibly stable and can only be triggered by a detonator. Now, the detonator wire is only a fraction of an inch wide, meaning if the bullet cut it in half, it would actually disable the bomb, making it drop to the ground without going off.

So we need a group of soldiers to shoot that nuke
It’s going to make a dent in the ground💀😭
I like the way crowds cheer! 🔥🤟
Zack almost kill a thousands of humans 💀😂
So you're saying we SHOULD shoot it🤝🏿….Understood
What if you shoot it with a tank?
I just dropped a nuke in the toilet at work.
MINIGUNNNNN SPAMMM IT AND IT WONT DENOATE WHY COULDNT THE JAPNEESE DO IT
respect to the person who said "hate it when a nuke drops on my city"
HAHAHAHA my speaker said power off as the bullet cut the wire in half😂
Deadshot, Hawkeye, Green arrow, Bullseye your up
Why Japan not do this in 1945 2 nyke drop
What if you shot it with an rpg
Mission accomplished
can EMP stop it ?
The Bomb Some people will never forget you local
Facts. If china didn’t take away all of japans citizens guns then they could have prevented Hiroshima
The people: WHAT DID WE EVER DO RUSSIA
Speed: I DECLARE WAT ON RU-
They tried it? Or just theoretical?
Ignore the tons of other live wires.
Ok so what you’re saying is we get EXTREMELY fast-firing machine guns with a low enough caliber to not penetrate the explosive section, but high enough to cut through the wire and disable it, and the moment the bomb is dropped, just RIDDLE it with bullets, got it.
The thing is, even if you somehow did detonate the explosives, they are so meticulously timed that if it's not the intended detonators blowing off every charge at the exact same time, fission cannot take place and it's essentially just a regular bomb with some radioactive stuff inside.
What about the other wires
If u can see the nuke, it's already too late.
Misunderstanding
Even if you managed to detonate the chemical explosives this way, the nuclear bomb would not properly detonate. To achieve a nuclear explosion the chemical explosives have to be set off by a serries of detonators with incredible timing.
If the explosives where ignited by a singular or multiple bullets the forming explosion would have an asymetrical deformed shape which would just mangle the core instead of it compressing it down evenly from all angles. As a result the explosion would be purely chemical and would yield to something around 1 ton of tnt compared to the kilotons or megatons of tnt in nuclear explosions.
Though this would also mean that the higly enriched nuclear material from the core, would be spread around in the vicinity of the explosion. Concentrating all of the fallout that you would normally get, to a very small area where you would not want to be in.
Ima empty 12345678910 rounds on that thing
Great just buy a minigun
I mean, it would still explode, it just wouldn't be nuclear because the timing is off.
This is why we have Magic Missile
This probably doesn't apply to a MIRV(multiple re-entry vehicle) or ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missile)
Just use a machine gun and rapid fire the nuclear bomb
I do not believe that is the case. It would likely result in an unevenly compressed blast charge, leading to reduced fusion and an increase in radioactive fallout.
Yeah but modern nukes don’t have a single wire that you can shoot they have a lot of wires and safeties
Nga ain’t GONNA be no time to shoot a nuke down, that’s the thing 🥀🥀🥀
Someone send this to pewview
Minigun?
Detonation happens at an average height of 500 metres. So unless you have a Sniper rifle, you can't do shite 😂😂
So I guess it’s worth a shot
I see Zack played through Fallout again recently
What’s the point of this again?
That one guy who loaded api rounds.
At that point we're cooked then
