The precision-guided weapon, built by Boeing Co, could become the biggest conventional bomb the United States has ever used.

Unless I've missed one somewhere, it would be the biggest conventional bomb anyone has used.

The second biggest would be the British "Grand Slam" at 22,000 lbs.

The US tested a 44,000 lb bomb at Edwards AFB in 1947.
