Actually, the poster who has provided the most information regarding weights and
sizes of various extant weapons is from the Isle of Mann.

All the information is public (indeed, the Davy Crockett features in a
museum in the United States), and the films/photos of all the testing
is declassified. The Nuclear Weapons archive website has pretty
comprehensive information. A great deal of the footage is now nicely
packaged in a movie called 'Trinity and Beyond - The Atom Bomb Movie'
(which was narrated by William Shatner)

I'm fascinated by cold war history, especially the technical aspects.

The Davy Crockett is actually a rather interesting one (not just its
small size and small yield, being close to the theoretical minimum size
possible), but also how aptly it is named. The Davy Crockett crew would
almost certainly be committing suicide if they ever had to use one in
anger against advancing Soviet troops!
