-'''Mark 6''' was the main US atomic bomb as the improved, lightweight version of the previous Mark 4 bomb with design traced back to the '''Mark 3 ''"Fat Man"'''''; unlike the ''Fat Man'', Mark 6 used gun-type fission. Developed by '''Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory''' ('''LASL''', ''now '''LANL''' with '''N'''ational replacing '''S'''cientific'') and was first manufactured in July 1951; the bomb would undergo serval improvements including increasing implosion point and weight reductions for its seven variants ranging from 8 to 160 kt TNTe.

-Although never been used during the Cold War, one of the 1100 bombs were accidentally dropped by a B-47 on May 1958 at Mars Bluff, South Carolina and leaving 6 civilian injuries due to the detonation of triggering conventional explosives (which the core would be installed after strike orders have been received).
