    Say hello to Google Nukeit:

    Select a location, select a weapon (Fat Boy, Asteroid Impact, B61) and click the Nuke It! Button to check out the blast radius.

    Yeah the 50mt Russian thing will keep me up for a week: placed in the center of dublin, it would destroy everything from there to Newbridge. One Jet-Fighter mounted B61 would wipe most of the city in a flash.

    You say that like it was a bad thing.

    Would barely take a fart to wipe out any other town in Ireland, in fairness.

    Hmmmm a 50mt on kilkenny will take out pretty much the entire county & carrickonsuir & new ross. Cant see a downside

    The asteroid one is a good laugh. A 6 mile wide chunk of rock moving fast enough can do a fair amount alright.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,013 ✭✭✭kincsem


    I've just noticed your location is South Carolina so you should be ok too.

    I dont think Ireland or the UK would even exist after that. Ireland definitely not, the UK might make a nice coral reef though. Just as soon as everything is done with the mass extinction.

    I dont find that scary, im kind of relieved tbh.

    Turns out that if you drop a 21 kilotonne atom bomb on Waterford, the blast wont even reach the dump. Thank god! :)

    Que jokes about Waterford being a dump :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Only one of them will take out Ardee if I aim for Dundalk...

    I actually spent the weekend Waterford and was stunned at how much of a dump it actually is.. I was actually extremely disappointed except for the main shopping street and along the quay. The fact that I grew up in Dundalk and think Waterford is alot worse says quite a lot I think :eek:

    jeez you can drop an "mk 28" on Tralee and my house is still standing.

    2 questions... what are the fallout effects and how can I get one of those?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Super mutants, centaurs. And the biffo-enclave.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,013 ✭✭✭marko93

    Relax. The Yanks could refuel at the Isle of Man instead.

    Apparently yes.

    I just checked the news now and it seems Tuam, Co. Galway has just been hit by a nuclear missile.

    Whoops.
