Sounds not like a good idea to launch a grenade with nuclear warhead
with a lauchner with only 1.25 miles range. Even if it is a "sub-
kiloton" warhead, you'll have the nicest explosion some seconds
after launching only 1.25 miles away. And a Jeep (jeep? JEEP?) doesn't
give good protection against nuclear fallout...
