The M28/M29 "Davy Crockett" was a spigot mortar with an atomic warhead, the M388. The M388 was a modified Mk-54 sub-kiloton fission device. The M388/Mk-54 devices were reported to be dismantled in the period 1968-1980 when they made up the charge of the SADM (Special Atomic Demolition Munition), which were retired from the inventory ca. 1973-1980. The M388 weighted about 75 lbs and could be considered a "backpack nuke". I doubt that any of these warheads were transferred to the goat-fuckers. They were complex and difficult even for Army Engineers to arm, maintain or use, much less the ignorant savages, which were main reasons for their retirement. Also the "pit" or fissile charge decayed rapidly and would never have been able to detonate or fission after about 20 years.
