The weight for the Davy Crockett was "ready to fire," inside its casing.


No, that all-up weight was apparently greater than 100 pounds (NWA says 150
pounds; see: http://gawain.membrane.com/hew/Usa/W.../Allbombs.html ). The
weight of the W-54 "only" is listed as 59 pounds.


You're including the weight of a small rocket booster in that, big
enough to fire the sucker several miles...
