The Atomic Annie was an amazing weapon, although I have to say that the
Davy Crockett Atomic Rifle was something to behold:
"I am firmly convinced that the Davy Crockett Atomic Rifle is a weapon which is certainly protected by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and requires no more restriction than regulated, fully automatic weapons as defined by the United States Treasury" - Congressman Samuel Nortolcyc (D) - Illinois, 1963

It had a very low yield warhead. Even at a low yield setting, the Davy Crokett would produce an almost instantly lethal radiation dosage (in excess of 10,000 rem) within 500 feet.
