The "gun" type doesn't require that much precision to make, and doesn't need the fancy triggers and stuff an implosion device does.
All the tech for *that* has been open source for decades. (For example the old Analog article about how to build a nuke and "wake up the neighborhood")
So all this episode did was increase the *useless* paranoia about nuclear materials.
