No they can't. Just sayin.
For starters, that isn't the gun being used. The gun being used is a 280mm atomic cannon nicknamed "Atomic Annie." The footage is from a 1953 test at the Trinity Test site in Nevada.
Additionally, there's this small problem:
In 1991 the US unilaterally withdrew its nuclear artillery shells from service, and Russia responded in kind in 1992. The US removed around 1,300 nuclear shells from Europe and reportedly dismantled its last shells by 2003. Focus has since moved to development of nuclear bunker buster munitions.
Source (for both issues) : Nuclear Artillery
Look real close at that image on the top right. Seem familiar? Now look at the gun on top-most image on the left side of the article. That seem familiar too?
And while the M195 could, theoretically fire one of the various nuclear projectiles developed...the fact is there just aren't any more of them to shoot.
How closely did you say you worked with artillery again?
i bn exceptionally nice to you even with your condescending post and attitude about my military training and mean spirited attitude designed to provoke me.. but, that stops now i will no longer tolerate it.
now whether the howitzer on youtube was or wasnt an m198 wasnt the point i wanted to post a nuke being fired by a howitzer period.
i am also insulted that you would think your google or wiki knowledge supercedes what i was taught in my military howitzer courses as well as my actual firing experience.
b/c sadly it does not. i wasnt giving a history lesson i was stating a fact. an m198 howitzer can fire nuclear warheads and they have.
next time you want to question and insult me about my knowledge i suggest you do more then just scan for post that you feel agree with you and use it to insult me with your condescending attitude.
here read this.

To humour you, let's say all these soldiers 'fight' just the Cullen's.
Alice would see them coming. To make extra money for the family, she watches changes made in big businesses they can invest in, the best housing markets and sports betting, all from her home in Forks. Do you honestly think she wouldn't see a group of people coming after her family? She knew when the Volturi would come.
Edward can read their minds. He knows how the plan to attack, what they'll attack with all before it happens.
Edward may be the the fastest, but they can all outrun a bullet. The way time moves for them is extremely slow, not only could they dodge the bullet, they could snatch it the moment it leaves the gun.
Not that they need to, considering they're made up of indescribable rock. The only thing that has the strength to kill them is their own kind (And the shapeshifters, but only in packs.) The vampires need to be ripped limb from limb, and then burned to ash, because they can put themselves back together.
When the Cullens were faced with the newborn army, Jasper said "Newborn army's don't need thousands like a human army, and no human army can stand against them." Then the Cullens proceeded to kill them all.
In breaking dawn, the Cullens, their friends and the wolves defeated the Volturi, who out-numbered them.
These vampires are built strong (Edythe (Edward in Life and Death: Twilight reimagined) told Beau (Bella) that Eleanor (Emmett) could move a mountain if she wanted to.) they were built fast, and without weaknesses.
They wouldn't even need all of them to fight off a human army, so I don't even need to include the advantages of some of the other vampires powers.

Where did anyone in Twilight ever outrun a bullet? I can't even recall an instance of anyone shooting at them. Edward is the fastest Cullen and I can't recall him ever doing anything like that.
Also you seem to have no problem using statements, so in regards to the "only their own kind of shapeshifters can kill them" isn't necessarily true. Didn't the crazy chick who wrote this series say that a rocket launcher could kill them? But especially the "they can move mountains" statement isn't supported by a single feat.
The material their bodies are made of isn't indescribable..it was described several times as being like marble. They have durable bodies, but I'm not even sure if they have healing factors like most vampires in fiction do. It seems any injuries they have are healed upon their initial transformation into a vampire, but I'm struggling to remember any scene where we see them get injured and then quickly heal.

I'm pretty sure their skin was described as looking like marble but the books did mention that they were far harder than marble. I think the guy above you is quoting from the books, because that's where it says that only another vampire can destroy one of them, or the shapeshifters in numbers. But this was never shown/said in the movies.

Yeah but he said it's indescribable, but it's not. It's a hard substance like marble. Or even like concrete, but obviously more durable than those things.
Which in some ways could be a blessing and a curse. Extremely hard to injure, but I don't know if serious injuries can be healed. Like if someone rips off one of Edwards fingers will it just grow back? I can't recall them ever really receiving any superficial injuries.
But I don't recall any time anyone was dodging bullets or anytime they got shot at. They fought other supernatural beings who had zero use for guns.
In the books I believe it is said that the shapeshifters actually have enchanted teeth or something..in other words something that lets them injure vampires other than brute strength.
They do have some kind of healing, though I have no idea how well it works on severe injuries. It seems to handle minor wounds fairly well. At around 0:20, Felix slams Edward into the floor hard enough to crack his cheek. At about 0:30, we see the crack start to heal up:
And Edward was malnourished during that fight, IIRC.
I haven't seen Twilight, so I can only speculate. My first reaction would be: "Bring the rain."
Think this might put a slight damper on their glitter?
