      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…

        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.

          One of the hallmarks of a bad weapon: significant overlap in maximum range and minimum safe distance
