re: #93 goddamnedfrank

Yes and no. Technically the 21 ton TNT equivalent yield reported for the Tianjin blast is exactly equal in line with the blast effect of the Davy Crocket nuclear device. Of course most of the lethality of the Davy Crocket’s W54 warhead came from prompt release of radiation, and not the blast yield.

Battlefield nuclear rockets and artillery, by the by, have to be the craziest damned things we ever invented.

Nuclear grenade, throw really hard.
