Wrong reference:

The Davy Crockett was in service with the Army from 1960 to 1971 and did use a
W54 sub-kiloton nuclear warhead, but it was not a missile or a gun but a
recoiless rifle. The M-28 version was a 120mm recoiless rifle which was
carried and deployed by jeep. It had a range of 1.25 miles and was field
tested twice in 1962 (Little Feller I & Little Feller II) . It was deployed in
Germany to provide infantry troops a bit more punch.
