I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.

Plenty of potential apocalyptic horrors came out of the Cold War, but the atomic cannon is especially unsettling. This giant gun was able to fire a nuclear weapon with a range of 20 miles, detonating at once an entire enemy platoon.

The gun was developed in the 1950s by the American government over a period of eight years, with a prototype even making its way into the procession of President Eisenhower’s inauguration. On May 25, 1953, at 8:31 am, over 3,000 military spectators watched from 5,000 yards away as the world’s first atomic artillery round was shot across the desert rock of the Nevada test site.

Nine seconds later, and just over seven miles away, “the shell that could wipe out an entire enemy division” exploded on target with a roaring violence equal to 15,000 tons of TNT,” throwing debris 500 feet.

After the successful test, 20 of the atomic cannons were produced, each at a cost of $800,000 dollars. They were sent to Europe and Korea, but never saw action. Only eight now survive, including the only one to fire a shot: Atomic Annie at Fort Sill.
