 NTI: CNWM: Technical Background
A gun-type weapon is the simplest type of nuclear bomb to build, and it is as simple as it sounds: in effect, a projectile of highly enriched uranium is fired down a gun barrel into a ring of highly enriched uranium, forming a critical mass.
The lightest nuclear weapon the United States ever deployed was the W54 warhead, which in its "Davy Crockett" version weighed about 50 pounds and reportedly had a yield in the range of a quarter of a kiloton.
In addition, an implosion device using either weapon-grade plutonium or HEU requires a means for generating a burst of neutrons to start the chain reaction at the right moment, before the material "bounces" back to a subcritical state

 Amazon.com: Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark: Amazing Revelations of the Incredible Power of Gold: Books: Laurence Gardner
Gardner's contention is that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant was in reality: a capacitor that made it a powerful and deadly weapon, a superconductor that allowed it to levitate above ground, and a machine for manufacturing a substance called "Mfkzt" by the ancient Egyptians, "manna" by the Hebrews, and the "philosophers stone" by alchemists.
Gardner realized that these are the specifications of a simple capacitor, and calculates that the ark would have charged to several thousand volts, making it a powerful and deadly weapon.
In what turned out to be a colossal tease, Laurence Gardner, in his second major work, Genesis of the Grail Kings, gave us a brief description of a curious white powder produced in ancient Egypt that had phenomenal gravitational, transformational and inspirational powers.

In the wizard Gandalf's counsel that the powerful but corrupting Ring be destroyed, rather than used as a weapon against Sauron, antiwar activists saw a clear allusion to the scourge of nuclear weapons.
In 1956 W.H. Auden wrote in The New York Times that, in some respects, Tolkien's story of the hobbit Frodo's quest to destroy the Dark Lord Sauron's "One Ring" of power surpassed even Milton's Paradise Lost.
Shippey, for example, sees The Lord of the Rings as an unfailingly modern work in its attempt, through the fantasy mode, to grapple with the greatest trauma of the twentieth century: the evidence of radical human evil presented by the two world wars.

 Enforcer (Charles L. Delazny Jr., Ghost Rider/Spider-Woman foe)
The original Enforcer (Delazny) was an agent of a foreign power and a would-be mob boss who used a disintegration weapon and a secret high-tech headquarters in his attempt to control the local criminal underworld.
Eventually, the Enforcer decided that Goldman was the only remaining threat to his plans (since, as the creator of the disintegator ring, he could likely find a way to nullify its power) and was about to eliminate him when Ghost Rider showed up.
The Enforcer brought Spider-Woman back to his hideout and put her in a cage, where she soon regained her eyesight, freed herself, and was about to take them by surprise when her partner, criminologist Scotty McDowell, showed up to rescue her, but was promptly shot by the Enforcer.

 Make Room for Dragons — Merp.com Website
Dragons would have to be some sort of disappointment to Sauron, at least by the middle of the Second Age, or else they should have served him as a powerful weapon in his wars with the Elves.
It may be that the early dragons depended upon Morgoth's evil will, and much like Sauron's Ring of Power their apparent autonomy of will was more a disassociated act of their master's malice.
His role was chiefly as an ambassador on behalf of Gil-galad, who sought out Men deliberately, to either forge alliances with them, or to gain knowledge about them and perhaps to forestall their succumbing to the influence of the dark power he had perceived as stirring in the east.

This increase in size, when combined with a full two handed grip, give this saber enormous cutting and slashing power on the battle field and helped promote strength and agility as a man skilled in the use of the Bagua was an even more fearsome opponent when armed with a lighter and more agile weapon.
Its 14" cord wrapped grip, "S" shaped guard, and steel ring pommel all work in concert to make it a well balanced weapon that's unbelievably fast and agile.
A beautiful brass Menuki ( a small, ornamental sculpture inserted between the ray skin and the cord wrappings on the handle) enhances the sword& aesthetic appearance and makes for a sword that is as traditional looking as they can possibly make it.
