[edit] SADM Current Locations
Where are the SADMs currently located? Have they been stocked or decomissioned? It seems to me that they could easily be seen as a matter of National Security if they are just stored in a weapons depot. Crisco 1492 18:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Globalsecurity.org states that these weapons are no longer in the stockpile. If I had to guess I would imagine that the things have been disassembled. --Robert Merkel 12:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Variable Yield?
What does the term variable yeild mean? It sounds like there's a dial on top that you set for how many tons you want. I'm assuming it means you can make it with different amounts of nuclear material.
- Nope, it means dial-a-yield. I've updated the page to reflect this. Yes, I find this kind of disturbing.--Robert Merkel 08:05, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tactical nuclear rifle thingy
Is "Davey Crocket" the name of the project, the rifle or the projectile? --Gbleem 05:17, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Weight sounds fishy
>Mk-54 weighed 68 kilograms
Sixty-eight kilograms is the weight of an average non-obese adult male person. That means 68 kilograms is definitely not man-portable, not even by two soldiers carrying it. Maybe you meant 68 pounds (some 32 kilogramns)?
The mechanism to change the yeilds has to do with a swith that changes the amount of tritium injected into the weapon and the weight was around 60 pounds. I'm possitive on this..:) jim graves >>Say there Jim: If you've been in the room where that photo was taken ("FB")... I just don't understand why you'd be comfortable with this article, or the playful banter about the technical details,... even if it's been totally declassed (and don't just assume that it has.. completely) , why would ya wanna talk about it? Go ahead and feel special, cause ya' are, but that's why you gotta leave this alone and just smile... ;) "Another Echo"
