"Davy Crockett" -- Recoilless Gun, 155mm:
Davy Crockett was the smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever made for the U.S. Army. It was to give nuclear fire support to front line enemy troops. But, when fired at its maximum range, the crew was well within the blast radius of the warhead and they could receive a huge dose of radiation. This makes it a really bad weapon! Would you want to fire it?
Trivia: Davy Crockett appeared in the 1960's sci-fi movie, "King Kong Vs. Godzilla". |
