Fortunately, it was never built.

A nuclear bomb fired from a recoiless rifle, what a good idea is that?

Hopefully the range (1.25 miles) would have made the soldier think twice about firing it.

One was actually fired in 1962 -  the last atmospheric test detonation in Nevada.  By an Olympic 100m champion ;D
