If you haven't seen this, you might want to take a look.  It's one of those things that looks like it was created using special effects but it appears to just be what happens when you fire a 15 kiloton nuclear round out of a cannon.

No reason for posting this other than I don't know if most people are even aware that there were once such tactical nuclear weapons envisioned as tools for the battlefield (range=11,000 yards).

Crazy.

Fantastic footage.  Thanks for posting.

Is there a word for rapidly switching back and forth from horror to excitement over and over and over?  (German probably has a perfect one.  They've got all the best words.)
