“Atomic Annie” or “Amazon Annie” was a 280mm cannon capable of delivering a 15-20 kiloton nuclear weapon to a range of about 40 miles. I need one of these for my yard.

The W19 was an American Nuclear artillery shell, derived from the earlier W9 shell. The W19 is fired from a special 11 inch howitzer. It was introduced in 1955 and retired in 1963.

The W19 was 11 inches in diameter, 54 inches long, and weighed 600 pounds. It had a yield of 15-20 kilotons.
