With conventional weapons, it's this one.

"Initial conventional capability was optimized for delivery of Mk-82 non-precision 500lb gravity bombs."

"The upgrade consists of modification for B-1B bomb module from the original configuration of 28 500-pound bombs per unit to 10 1,000-pound cluster bombs per bomb rack. The modifications apply to a total to 50 refitted bomb racks -- enough to equip half the B-1B fleet."

Now, 28 500# bombs may not sound like a lot to you, but they can do a lot of damage.

And remember, the madman in the White House has access to nukes. They are very powerful. That's what the B-1 was designed to carry. And he always talks about all options being on the table, unless he's lying and saying there are no plans. Go figure.
