I cannot list them all because from 1945 to 2000 they went through too many changes and improvements in all their features to tabulate here. I will attempt to list the components of the 1945 MK-1 (Little Boy - Hiroshima) and MK-3 (Fatman - Nagasaki) bombs:
MK-1
- Casing - steel alloy and paint
- Battery - probably lead-acid
- Radar antennas - copper, bakelite, etc.
- Arming system - vacuum tube and relay electronics (glass, tungsten, copper, iron, etc.)
- Gun - steel alloy
- Target - oralloy (93.5% uranium-235), depleted uranium tamper
- Bullet - oralloy
- Propellent - cordite
- Neutron sources - beryllium and polonium with very thin gold foil separating them
MK-3
- Casing - steel alloy and paint
- Battery - probably lead-acid
- Radar antennas - copper, bakelite, etc.
- Arming system - vacuum tube and relay electronics (glass, tungsten, copper, iron, etc.)
- X-Unit - high speed vacuum tube electronics (glass, tungsten, copper, etc.)
- Explosive lenses - fast Composition-B and slow Baratol
- Sustainer - fast Composition-B
- Pad - felt
- Pusher - aluminum
- Tamper - depleted uranium
- Core - nickel plated plutonium
- Neutron source - beryllium and polonium with very thin gold foil separating them
