Answer Little Boy was a different bomb design using a gun dentonator. These were referred to as "thin man"designs as they were thinner than the type design used for "Fat Man" bomb, which was a large round diameter. This design was very dangerous and could be easily detonated by lightning, etc. No more bombs were designed like this.
