I'm having a vision of a Davy Crockett strike from a couple of thousand yards .... to bad they decomissioned those little bad boys!

This was a surface burst of the W-54 Davy Crockett warhead, which was suspended three feet above the ground on cables. The plutonium warhead's diameter was just short of 11 inches, was over 15 inches long, and weighed 50 pounds.

50 pounds... sweet....
