The 280 MM Gun at the Nevada Proving Ground
This video is perhaps best summed up by the comment, " I miss the 50s. Nice solid engineering and a society not afraid to squirt a few nukes off once in a while."
Enjoy. 
Helps if the link is included.

Don't know if it's true. My mom said dad witnessed them lighting one off ( an A- bomb ) in NM before he was assigned to SAC.
She said he was different after he got back from that trip.

Never had any of those "atomic pop guns" - but we did have a container and large ALICE rucks to do this with.

I don't miss that part of the job much...except for the guys.
