20 were built and one is at Ft. Sill and one at the Smithsonian. What happened to the rest? link |

I believe one was at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Not sure if that was the Smithsonian one or another and whether it's still there since the Ordnanace Museum was closed and most of the AFV relocated. Chris |

That was something. But with 13 mile range, chances of hitting near friendly troops is a possibility. Also means gun had to be near FLOT, dangerous to it. |

I've seen the one at the Virginia War Museum--definitely worth a visit, if only for the outdoor collection of artillery and armored vehicles. Rob |

Hey, I found this pin, it has a tag on it: "Atomic Hand Grenade, Do Not Pull Until Ready To Use"
Oh, wait, there it is… |

Barin, you also had a 100MT firecracker which was dialled down to 50 for testing so that the Earth wouldn't catch fire. Is good thing none of these have been used for real, yes? Let's all pray that nobody decides to get stupid(er) and start playing nuclear "chicken" again. |
