+Dave Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Was talking to Chaser on line and he stated....... Chaser617 (3:49 PM): ok, mental note, when selecting loadouts for a CAS strike, make sure you have Mk 82 snakeyes, and not the Mk 82 MOD nuclear weapon.... I about pissed myself when I read that I laughed so hard. Quote

(how fast can you run!!!!!) Quote

Jeremiah Weed Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah, the Honest John had a minimum range of 3 and a half miles and a maximum range of like 15 or something like that, and carried the W7 variable yield warhead (up to 20 KT I think) and later the W31 (up to 40 KT) I'm not an expert by any means, and I know 20-40 KT isn't that high of a yield, but I really don't want to be only 15 miles (at the maximum) away from any nuclear detonation. EVER. It could also deliver chemical cluster sub munitions or a conventional HE warhead. Quote
