Remind me of the prototype weapon “the davy crocket” it was a concept weapon which would be used by field units preferably mounted to a willys jeep. Which would launch a football sized nuclear warhead.
It never saw deployment because of multi reasons which include
– it didnt shoot far enough to get the launchers out of explosion range
– there was alot scrutiny in the 50s over nuclear bombs.
– it was heavy as fuck
Lots of people says the fallout series of games took heavy inspiration fron the davy crocket to make the fatman

If you want to apply the phrase “derp” to atomic weaponry, there you go.
