    Ahhh, no, not easy.
    As demonstrated by Pakistan's 12 year hunt for a working design despite sufficient 235U for supercriticality.
    They got it, but it cost a fortune in infrastructure.
    Then they sold the process to NK for missile tech

    Same effect. Both faces must be flat to nanosecond simultaneous contact.
    A spike, after all, will just spread the outer casing of the cylinder until is exceeds critical mass density and then won't detonate.
    or, as you say, fizzle

  3. And the radiator transfer fluid?
    I bet you can guess!

    Given that it is the Trumpies who have murdered 18 people, DOUBLING last year's kill rate and antifa has murdered exactly ZERO people, your venom is spraying as uselessly as the spittle from your lips

    The contact face has to be kept flat to nanometers, while under 300G AND impact with the initiator UNMOVING at the impact point.
