Check out all the weird weapons of war. Do you have a nuke by any chance? These guys do, watch out for the Davy Crockett nuclear mortar!

I like how his team can make cute animation and gruesome ones at the same time

The Davy Crockett has to be one of my favorite experimental weapons. The idea of mounting it on a jeep, firing, and driving as far away as possible is hilarious to me lol

[Unknown.NotRegistered]

The reason the Davey Crockett was never used is well documented, its blast radius is larger than its own firing range. The solders using it dont survive either.

"Enemies at B6"
"Removing B6"

“Peterson fire a warning shot”
“Sir this is a nuke”
“Potato Potato just fire it”

"See that village over there, soldier?"
"Yes, sir"
"I don't wanna ever see anything like that again"
*gets the nuke mortar*
"Wait NO SOLDIER NOT THA-"

[whitewolf]

Soldier 1: Enemies in that direction!
Soldier 2: Rodger! Blowing up that direction.

Ah yes nuclear weapons, they are like a " To whom it may concern" blast radius

Good old Davey Crockett. Main problem with that was it was essentially a suicide bomb with an extension cord, because even when things went well, the mortar team was still danger close...

[alexernst]

I realize two kilometers is pretty good for a mortar system, but that still feels a touch too close for a tactical nuke.

[gamerguy]

“The enemies are over in that area”
“Copy that, deleting that area”
*lego building noises, followed by mortar fire*

[Ricky_the_Georgian]

Why is everyone in that mortar position a captain? 😂

[weldonwin]

So I'm going to be THAT guy and say it... The Davy Crocket wasn't a mortar, it's a Recoilless Rifle. The firing tube is open at both ends and it fires on relatively flat trajectory, rather than in a parabolic one.

It was specifically made as a Recoilless Rifle system, to make it lighter so it could be carried on a jeep or by a team of infantry and a Mortar would have a far shorter range, meaning the team firing it would certainly get vaporised in the blast.

Imagine winning but then the enemies just goes: ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The US also developed nuclear artillery, an atomic 280mm round fired from a howitzer nicknamed "Atomic Annie." It also was never used in combat.

[kristoferhalim]

So we got fat man, little boy, atomic anny. What do we call this little atomic fella?

[LeBronchime]

Bro really out here launching a fat-man mini nuke

[dallasbruner]

next step, nuclear grenades. next step, nuclear bullets. next step, everybodys dead.
