Gravity bombs sound way cooler than they actually are. They're just bombs that fall to the earth normally with the force of gravity. No propulsion or anything.

Personally, I like reserving the name "gravity bombs" for a bomb that pulls things in.

American gravity bombs? Are we not allowed to just call them fatties any more?
