Gun barrel type - The type that can do its best

…There are two methods for this. The first method is called the gun barrel type, in which fissile material ( 235U or 239Pu ) that would exceed the critical limit if combined is placed separately at either end of a gun barrel-shaped container and rapidly combined by the explosion of an explosive. The second method is called the implosion type, in which a subcritical amount of fissile material is strongly compressed, so that the surface area is reduced, even though the mass remains unchanged, and the critical limit is exceeded (Figure 1). …

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "gun barrel type" is listed below.
