I'm considering buying a nuclear weapon for home defence, and I'm stuck trying to decide on yield and type. I've always been a fan of implosion-type weapons for their increased portability and stopping power, but the slightly bulkier gun-type weapons do just as good a job for half the cost.

As for yield, I like the W-84 warhead for its great versatility, it can easily be changed from a minuscule 200T yield for taking out just a single block, or turned up to eleven, for a 150KT yield big enough to take out any city that poses a threat to my personal safety. Its only drawback is that its larger and heavier than most warheads I've used, so I'd need a bit of practice to get comfortable with it.

On the other hand, there's the W-79 artillery warhead, which can easily fit into my backpack or laptop bag for when I am traveling inner-city and need a concealed carry, but it's yield is far less potent, capable of only defending against ten to fifteen square blocks at it's maximum. It does scale down to less than a hundred tons of stopping power, so perfect when testing at the range and you don't want to spend too much on ammunition.

I briefly considered going with fusion instead of fission for the extra stopping power, but I realized that when it came down to it, I'd only really be defending myself against a neighborhood or two, large town at most. I probably won't ever need to defend against a whole city or county.

So yeah, any input before I go down to the range would be more than welcome.

I'd have gone for a 79 myself, but I tend to prefer dual-purpose rather than radiation-based, and W79s are hard to come by.

Partly because I'm only interested in area defense and think that air blasts are cheating and partly because it's a great ice breaker for guests. Maintaining the cryogenicis costs a fortune, but I like to show off.
