Silly meme. Nuclear bombs are much too heavy to wield on the battlefield, and their shape is unsuitable for piercing platemail armour
If only I had some sort of mechanical machine that would lob this 300 kg nuclear bomb 90 m away at my enemy. One day science will catch up to man's dreams, one day...
Nuke hurling trebuchets are an underexplored fantasy tech.
To be safe, make it a 90kg nuclear bomb 300m away!
Nuclear artillery shells are an actual thing, though.
However, depleted uranium tipped arrows sound very cool.
They just have to make small adjustments
Also gamma radiation is good at "piercing" platemail armour.
Until they make the Fat Man
The real life version of that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
One of the hallmarks of a bad weapon: significant overlap in maximum range and minimum safe distance
Just mount it on the back of a spot robot similarly to https://youtu.be/0rliFQ0qyAM ๐
Lol fucking america of course its already made

What about uranium armour tho?
