Cordite is no longer used as a propellant in modern firearms. It has been replaced by more efficient and less corrosive powders. However, some military museums and historical reenactments may still use cordite in order to preserve the historical accuracy of certain weapons.

Cordite is composed of three main ingredients: nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, and sometimes a stabilizer such as mineral jelly. These components are mixed in specific proportions to create a stable and combustible propellant used in firearms.

The specifications reveal the use of four canisters of cordite (synthetic propellant) in the Little Boy (gun type uranium device). Unclassified details list 4 silk bags, each two pounds, for a total of 8 pounds of conventional explosive, plus their primers.

"It took Parsons 15 minutes to load the four cordite canisters into the gun chamber of Little Boy, which when fired would assemble two halves of the U-135 to make up the critical mass needed to [sustain] a chain reaction."

Note:

Cordite is a family of smokeless propellants developed and produced in the UK, beginning in 1889 to replace gunpowder as a military propellant. However, cordite is now obsolete since it has been replaced by more modern propellants.

Note:

Implosion type plutonium devices, such as the Fat Mandropped on Nagasaki, used explosive "lenses" made of the explosives Composition B (TNT and RDX) and Baratol (TNT and barium nitrate).

Nitroglycerine. Since the 1860s, it has been used as an active ingredient in the manufacture of explosives, specifically dynamite, and as such is employed in the construction anddemolition industries. Similarly, since the 1880s, it has been used by the military as an active ingredient, and a gellatinizer for nitrocellulose, in some solid propellants, such as Cordite and Ballistite.

Not the first double rifle (they have been around since muzzle loading days) but the first "Nitro Express" was created by Rigby in 1898 as the .450 Nitro Express. This used the newly created cordite propellant in lieu of black powder (that is the nitro part of the name). There was soon after several variants and other companies created their own versions.

Little Boy had a yield of fourteen kilotons; the EQUIVALENT of 14,000 tons of TNT. Of course, no single bomber then or today could carry that much TNT, but the use of atomic reaction allowed for a bomb of similar destructive capability.

Little Boy had no TNT in it at all. The chemical explosive used to assemble the uranium was cordite, ordinary smokeless powder.

The a-bomb was built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee - just outside Knoxville.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All atomic bombs built in 1945-1947 were built in Los Alamos, NM. Oak Ridge, TN only supplied the oralloy (Oak Ridge "alloy": weapons grade 80% enriched uranium) while Hanford, WA supplied the plutonium and polonium. The Navy supplied cordite and high explosives. Sandia in Albuquerque, NM supplied the custom bomb casings and electronics. Later factories (e.g. PANTEX in TX, Rocky Flats in CO) were built to do the assembly.
