ISTR some 60's promotional literature from Picatinny Arsenal showing a
jeep-mounted recoilless rifle with a crew of two. It was pointed to the horizon
and there was a mushroom cloud. I think they talked about yields down to 1Kt.
It reminds me of the proverbial nulcear handgrenade.

What's the range of a 105 RR ?
Of course it was an artist's sketch.

The same artists are now working on sketches of nuc bunker busters.
Another bad idea IMHO.

The recoiless rifle set up was called the "davey crockett" and fired an actual
nuclear shell based on the W-54(? IIRC) warhead which weighed in at about 62
pounds or so. Do a google on it.
