    Oh Yeah lets just sit here and watch fully exposed to the blast even though it may be miles away. We know nothing can go wrong ,go wrong ,go wrong.

    The chap checking SAFETY had no idea of consequences. 2 Kilometres or 4 doesn't really matter & they were concerned with the eyes.
    Poor old Davey being lumbered with that tag to his name: I think he would have preferred an item just as tactical but less deadly to the planet.

    I do like the "handle with care".

    cheers

    To imagine we once thought auch a thing was ok. Stunning.
    G. Leonard "Red" Bird former Fort Lewis College professor, former Marine, late of Durango, CO late in life wrote Folding Paper Cranes from his experiences as cannon fodder in the testing of atomic devices while he was in the Marines. It is a worthy read.

    If that lettering on the (hopefully dummy) nuclear warhead says something like "Handle with care", someone has a good sense of humor.

    At least they could be deployed and used. not like the tactical nuke that was more of a hey look at whet we have type of weapon not something that would ever be deployed

    When I was working we used to joke about the next Army super-weapon being the thermonuclear hand grenade. That was until this thing appeared on the scene.
