Although I am a retired ex-nuke spook from the USAF, I was at a base that was shared by us and the 55GOLFs of the USA. They had the W79 and believe me when it came time to do some "maintenance" on those type, well let's say good riddance. Not a very friendly nuke.
You want scary? The declassifed KGB files claim that Cuban commanders on the ground during the Missile Crisis had battlefield nuke shells, and permission to use them if America had invaded to shut down the Russian missile sites. You think we would have "gone nuclear" if one of those babies was fired?
Everybody, go rent "Matinee", the film with John Goodman as a 1960's monste-movie producer who primeers his latest and greatest in Key West during the Crisis. A wonderful snapshot of the era, layered with the fears of the age. Wonderful!
