For conventional artillery, as of 2013 the Soviet 2S7M Mialka is the most powerful artillery weapon. It is so powerful that troops working near it when it is fired may be incapacitated. As there is not much information on Atomic artillery, our main contender is probably the Davy Crockett recoilless gun. It fired a 51 pound nuclear warhead about 2.8 km. As this was well within the danger range of the weapon so it was made as a weapon of last resort and intended to be deployed in Germany to stop the advance of the USSR. An interesting note is that the last test at the Nevada test range was the Davy Crockett.
