"Electronics? A neutron trigger would be nice to enhance yield but it isn't necessary. You could make a flintlock U-235 gun sans electronics if you liked."
It would fizzle 999 times out of 1000.

It would fizzle 999 times out of 1000. Why do you think that?
Little Boy did not employ a neutron trigger. Probably had an neutron source in the center of one of the slugs but not a timed trigger. You call 10-20 ktons a fizzle? I don't.
