You said -- "What surprises me, however, is that you bought his nonsense about gun assemblies not needing triggers, Tritium being a trigger, or whatever else it was that he said that you defended as being correct."
"Big Boom" is "Big Dead" -- triggers or no triggers.
What more do you need to know?

No trigger means...no big boom. You can get an explosive fizzle, not much more.
