The M-28 or M-29 Davy Crockett Weapon System was a tactical nuclear recoilless smoothbore gun for firing the M388 nuclear projectile, armed with the W54 nuclear warhead, that was deployed by the United States during the Cold War. It was the first project assigned to the United States Army Weapon Command in Rock Island, Illinois.[3] It remains one of the smallest nuclear weapon systems ever built, with a yield of 20 tonnes of TNT (84 GJ). It is named after American folk hero, soldier, and congressman Davy Crockett.
Given you’d almost certainly die of radiation poisoning after firing this it never became popular.
They based a fallout weapon on this too.

This was tied to a major plot point in the “first act” of Metal Gear Solid 3.
MGS3 was a great game, I hope Delta does it well.
Kuwabara Kuwabara!
Always such a fun/crazy weapon to see brought up.
