M38A1D "Davy Crockett" Jeep with "Atomic" 120/155mm Recoilless Rifle.
Named for the famous Tennessee frontiersman, US Congressman and martyr of the Alamo, the Davey Crocket consists of a 279MM atomic projectile fired from a 120MM recoilless gun. A fixed round charge of propellant and a separate piston could launch the approximately 1 Kiloton-Yield projectile to a range of 2000 meters or just over 1.25 miles.
By the late 1960's, the limitations of the Davy Crocket were recognized and it was withdrawn from the military arsenal.
