Actually, that's false. You can protect yourself from
blast, radiation and thermal pulse by simply putting
yourself behind an earthen berm; in short, by firing the
Davy Crockett from behind a hill. It IS an indirect fire weapon, after all
I also seem to recall that SOP for firing positions with
the Crockett when you had the time to prepare one was to
dig a firing trench for the crew to huddle in and fire the
weapon from.
