The Atomic Cannon
The Atomic Cannon, at 280 mm, was the largest nuclear capable mobile artillery piece manufactured by the United States. On May 25, 1953, a 280 mm cannon fired an atomic projectile a distance of 7 miles at the Nevada Test Site. Twenty 280 mm cannons were manufactured. None were used in battle. (Sound effects added.)

i cant believe there are some of yall that are entertaining the idea of a weapon able to shoot a nuclear bomb not realizing that behind the scenes we are probably making trades with other countries for this type of weapon that can be used against us as well as by us. open uyour eyes people.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
The only time I saw this cannon was in a zombie movie. Man, what a wallop!
Its amazing that our military system has been able to come up with innovative bombs over the past 75 or so years.
I don't understand why the US can make nuclear artillery/bombs/whatever and at the other side, blaming/threatening every other country that they are doing exactly the same.
War War War thats the only thing humans ar the best,war ,destruction,pain in one day we vill selfdistract!!!The only good thing at this movie is that he shose as oher end.!!!!???
The video is very clear and shows the amount of damage can be caused by the stupid man-made "nuclear" bomb....I just dont see how can such power be described as "clear"...
I hope more weapons like this are developed for the world's sake.
I can't believe the US developed a cannon that shot a nuclear bomb. That's nuts -- and terrifying.
