  I was curious about the number of heavy nuts and bolts at its end. I've found this on Wiki; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Slam_(bomb)

  I believe that the explosive used was poured and due to the high speed that the bomb achieved during its descent those exposed nuts not only secured the detonating mechanism but provided solid attachment points to keep the tail surface attached...

• optimal chicken said:

  chuck2669 Yes I was wondering - that's a lot of nuts to keep a tail on..

  Also one of the Grand Slam bombs was used as a static display at RAF Scampton's Main Gate until about 1958 when upon trying to lift it due to a road widening projectit was discovered to be too heavy for the small crane being used and upon closer examination discovered to be still full of Torpex. It was collected by the British military and detonated at the experimental test range at Shoeburyness and heard over a 10 mile radius. - abbr. from the Australian Armourers Association. www.gunnies.pac.com.au/gallery/grand_slam.htm

  Whoever he was he will have had it made clear to him in no uncertain terms, from the first day he was issued it, that what he is holding was never to be called a gun. He is holding a rifle.
