What the fuck is a GRAVITY BOMB

Simply means it is a free-fall bomb. They are cheaper to make as they don't require an entire ICBM to deliver.

nah bro, it's a black hole bomb that destroys the solar system.

Just a bomb that is dropped from storage to fall in free-fall. Aka, a bomb with literally nothing else, the simplest possible bomb. An alternative name (which is better imo) is a "Dumb Bomb".

Gravity bomb just sounds so much more extraordinary than it actually is.
