The Fury Tactical Nuclear Weapon is a battlefield nuclear weapon used by the UNSC, and has been described as the closest equivalent in the UNSC arsenal to "a nuclear [[grenade]]". It is the size and shape of an over inflated football. Its yield has been stated to be slightly less than one megaton, and the nuclear blast has been described as extremely clean and has a radius of about 1.3 km.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 20''</ref> The Fury is relatively effective at destroying anything from a Covenant base to a [[Covenant cruiser]], although the Fury would have to be inserted into the ship prior to detonation.

An MFDD was used by [[Noble Team]] to destroy a [[CCS-class battlecruiser|CCS-class Battlecruiser]] during a [[Battle of the unidentified human colony|battle on an unspecified human colony]] world during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''': ''[[Deliver Hope]]'' trailer</ref>
