There wasn't much meat left after the primary detonation would pierce the soft flesh of the bird but it's tradition.

There must have been some real big birds back then for them to need rocket launchers

More oxygen, bigger bugs, bigger birds.

Neanderthals built the first Buick. It was the only way to take down the giant ants. The birds were relatively easy.

Does the thick part go at the top to prevent barrel-droop?

Or am I overthinking it?

That's why you need higher engineering safety margins! Then it doesn't matter how square your barrels are!
