I was at a car show today and picked up an interesting DOD photo of a M38A1
with the caption "DAVY CROCKETT, a two-man field gun that can fire atomic
warheads. This is one of a whole new "generation" of small A-weapons now
being held back because present designs waste atomic materials. Officials
say this waste can be "drastically" reduced by tests and redesign."
Interesting photo dated 1960. I take it that further tests were not done? I
think I have seen everything a Jeep can do now....
