    Theoretically a extremely expensive, ineffective and most likely unreliable piece of area denial.

    Didn't stop nerds from fantasizing about using that Davy Crockett nuclear mortar thing

        Some DoD brain genius thought that would be a good way to deliver a nuclear blast?

        Clearly they need another forfty quajillion dollars

            Yeah, the Davy Crockett was for blowing up small formations of tanks and creating an irradiated area to discourage troops from moving through. They had all kinds of weird shit like nuclear land mines and backpack nukes that were supposed to be more like conventional weapons on a grand scale than the giant city-buster weapons.
