What Were The Differences Between Little Boy And Fat Man?

Little Boy And Fat Man are the nicknames given to the two weapons of mass destruction that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, seem ridiculous when thinking about what they were capable of doing.
Little Boy was the first nuclear bomb to ever be used in war. It was deployed over Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, and was carried by a Boeing B-29 airplane named “Enola Gay” piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets and copilot Capt. Robert Lewis. Whereas the B-29 aircraft named “Bock’s Car,” piloted by Maj. Charles W. Sweeney and copilot Capt. Charles D. Albury dropped Fat Man on the city of Nagasaki 3 days after Little Boy hit Hiroshima.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only two times a nuclear bomb was ever deployed in the war. Both bomb designs were far behind what we are capable of these days. There exists a considerable amount of nuclear weapons in the world amassed by several countries. The launch of any one would be catastrophic for the entire world. It would do us good to remember the story of Little Boy and Fat Man and ensure that, for as long as possible, they remain the only offensive nuclear bombings in our planet’s history.

Strangely enough, the story of Icarus came back in a thought to my boyhood a few days ago. My take on that story/ myth was about getting 'too high or not paying attention to drugs/ drink/ or whatever gets you to that point". But some scholars look at it as a warning against technology. I suppose both are true.
