In the Manhattan Project they worked on two different designs for nuclear weapons. The idea is to make a critical mass which causes a chain reaction. You do this by compressing the material violently with conventional explosives. The Little Boy used an internal cannon to shoot a projectile into a mass of uranium to compress it. The Fat Man used a sphere of plutonium surrounded by a 'shape charge' that would explode and compress it.
