Description
A very large air dropped bomb for use in nation states. Based on the famous World War II RAF Grandslam bombs rather than the air bursting MOABs of the 21c USAF.Related content

This thing looks big enough that you could probably fire it off and it could hit anything inside of half a hemisphere.

The last time something dropped harder than an atomic bomb, Skrillex's bass drop was nothing...THIS MAKES SKRILLEX'S BASS DROP NOTHING.

Hmm, any chance I could use this in a story of mine? I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting ways to blow stuff up.

Er yes as long as at some point either Icly or OCly its mentioned its me or ZMI that produced it.

All I needed to hear, thanks. I'll be certain that a certain Dr. Evilonavich of the ZMI corporation is properly credited.

You could always take out a booster/wing with airborn laser and watch it miss

Unless someone was an evil sod and had the avionics compensate for control surface loss as best they could. >>

Now that will do serrious damage. Where can I buy one?

I've got an NS account. Will that work?

If your role playing in nationstates on the forums then yes.

O.O
damn... what is there to say besides this just owns?

niiiiice....Grandslam bombs were awesome, but I still like MOABs cause of the boom. The bigger the boom, the happier I am. ^.^

but what if I don't use SAMs? What if I use lasers? And automated anti-air chain guns?
btw, is it possible to intercept one of these things anyways, say with a 747 armed with a laser firing from several hundred kilometers away? >.>

Actually lasers would be fairly ineffective as not only will her outer carbon composite ablative layer effectively stop overheating but also her entire airframe make up is mostly dense metal rather than conventional light weight aerospace alloys and the RDX filler while it will burn and smoulder will not detonate without an electric charge.
Conventional anti air chain guns wont have the fire-power/time to engage and if there ground based the bomb will be able to kinetic harpoon them.

...I wasn't talking lasers for overheating, I was talking a pierce-laser, you know, destabilize the missile so it'll break apart? (and anything'll burn if you get it hot enough. xD)
but yeah, good call with the explosive. Alot of things do detonate when simply heated up though, sadly.

with the spin and carbon composite ablative outer layer your talking above 15 megawatts easily to slice and dice the hull if it was ordinary aerospace underneath..which it isn't. Its far far thicker as its meant to deal with the massive shock of impact and whamming down through 160 odd metres of soil to a buried missile command bunker or through the deck plating of a nationstates styled super dreadnought.

true, true...nuke it? Like, maybe a terraton nuclear yield intercepting missile...might be overkill, but I like big bangs. *shrugs* one of the reasons I didn't turn down uranium mining on my nationstate. <.<

A single megaton would be "overkill" <<

true...but I like terratons better. XD

O.O' you do realize how earth shatteringly powerful a Terraton is do you?
assuming this scenario occurs on Earth or a planet of similar size, a 100 Megaton thermonuclear device will create a fireball roughly as tall as the atmosphere, once you go beyond that point you're talking blasting chunks of the planets very atmosphere clean off.
you're talking about intercepting a bunker buster munition, with a weapon that would wipe out a portion of the planets surface, set off massive tectonic shock waves through the mantle, and would literally set the sky ablaze.

A crater 25 miles wide is typically produced by a teraton-scale blast.
The Chicxulub crater on the Yucatan peninsula, which is much much much wider than 25 miles, was also produced by a blast on that scale.
The Vredefort crater (the largest on Earth) was produced by such a blast scale. The debated Wilkes and Shiva impact craters would also have been produced by such a blast, if they are in fact craters.
And I like big booms. >:

Yes, and were talking about an explosion so big it would cause a mass extinction event, would flatten and then vaporize everything for hundreds of miles around, would destroy every last object in orbit over the blast site, and if this bomb is anything like a real life thermonuclear weapon, it would also create a new radiation belt that would destroy everything and everyone in orbit and make space travel around the planet almost impossible without heavy radiation shielding for as long as it takes for that radiation to slowly bleed off.

When you put it like that, it isn't as good as Cheddar-Brocoli Tuesdays at the uni.
Can we do it to Venus then? No one lives there.

Or you can watch an entire hard hanger complex fall into a hole filled with fire after 12 of your AAA sites get hit by kinetic harpoons and your CAP and SAMs are disposed of by frag bomblets. >>
