"The Deadly Davy Crockett: A Portable Nuke Doomed Its Operators"
The Davy Crockett Recoilless Rifle, a portable nuclear weapon developed in the 1950s, combined the power of a nuke with the portability of artillery. However, its design posed significant safety concerns for the soldiers operating it, as they would be exposed to the detonation and potential global conflict. The weapon was never used in combat and was retired in 1971, but it gained notoriety in the video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
