What were the nuclear weapons the countries used in the Cold War?

[Edit]

Answer

No nuclear weapons were used in the Cold War. The reason it is called that is that the United States and the Soviet union never came into direct military conflict. The only time that atomic weapons have been used was during the Second World War.

And I'll point out that the USA is the ONLY country ever to do so, twice.
