I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some (any!) information or 
references to the Atomic Cannon the US Army was testing in the Desert in the 
late 40's or early 50's?

I think it only ever fired one shot ;)

All i've seen was some footage of this HUGE cannon with a enormous amount of
recoil blast it's projectile into the sky and seconds later a mushroom in the
distance...
