Just to start, the shotgun type bombs dropped on heroshima and nagagaski fired the slug at about 300 m/s.
And I was thinking about this.
Hypothetically you could heat the necessary metals till molten, and then cavitate them using high frequency sonication. Vacuum bubbles or cavities in liquid collapse at 370+ m/s (if my figures are correct). More than enough for the shotgun effect.
Why wouldn't this be possible as a nuclear fission mechanism?

I've read about the demon core, how does that apply to this?
