If you pay close attention you can see when they spliced in the bigger explosion seconds after the shot was put down range.

@drmaltfeld1 Right... but my point was that you said this was a 1kt test with video of 15-20kt damage. Everything shown here except for the quick shot of the shockwave approaching along the ground, and that random still slide of the Climax test is apparently from Grable. But either way, Im glad to see there are people out there who know random information about nuclear tests as well, haha.

@philritter21 OK, let's be clear. I agree that the W-79 and W-79ER were not developed until the '80s. So, I stand corrected on that point. As to the weapon actually shown being launched from the so-called "atomic cannon,: that was the W-19 AFAP, which yielded 15 to 20 Kt. While the yield of this weapon was not as low as that of the W-79, it was certainly very low by the standards of the megaton-range strategic weapons of its day.
This collage is very misleading. The projectile fired by the artillery piece was only about 1 kiloton. The damage shown was from tests of weapons yielding around 20 kilotons. running them together gives the impression that the "aftermath" is the result of the Arty-fired weapon. It's not. Arty.-fired wpns were for tactical use by outnumbered NATO troops against Russian tank formations in crowded Europe. They HAD to be low-yield.
