Well, if you remember, the “Little Boy” device wasn't even tested - they knew it would work, even if its efficiency from an engineering standpoint was horrocious gharstly. Half critical mass, meet half critical mass, and away we go!
Even Trinity was an implosion-squeeze device. That's what they wanted, but for the war a “rough draft” weapon was needed now. Yah, okay, here ya go…
