Atomic Annie......

Some historic footage of a test using the Atomic Cannon back in the '50's.
U.S. built 20 of these cannons ($800,000 ea.) in the early 50's
that could launch a warhead 7 miles.

They were tractor loaded and could be ready to launch in 15 mins....
and back on the road in another 15 mins.

They were never used other than this one test and were all retired in 1963.
