Wow!

Just out of curiosity, what would 1 ginormous bomb do that an equivalent tonnage of smaller bombs could not?


Liquify the enemy!!!

No seriously, other than 'shock and awe' they were mainly used post hiroshima and nagasaki to convince the japanese that 'maybe' we had additional nukes. They were dropped on several small cities in the raids following the nukes. Up to 8,000lbers were dropped by the 330th on Kumagaya.
