nukes do not fucking give off gamma ray radiation until they ignite and create thermonuclear fission and/or nuclear fusion. do people not understand the context of how absolutely retarded it would be to create a bomb that gives you fucking huge amounts of radiation before detonating it.  "b-b-buh it's a dirty bomb that will be set off to spread radiation", this is equally as fucking stupid. this doesn't make sense, exploding radioactive material doesn't make fucking sense in any real world environment.  there's a reason nuclear bomb delivery took forever to develop as a coherent weapon of war. you can't just cobble together some uranium and dynamite and blow up the uranium.  the entire premise of a "dirty bomb" is fucking stupid. blowing up radioactive material does fucking nothing but destroy it.
