How would you like to be on the Receiving End?

Just thought I would pass these along, this is what a 120MM Smooth Bore looks like when it fires.  Check the last one, the tank is actually airborne and only wieghs 70 Tons!

 

Tanks in Action

Wow, sweet action pics.  As we speak a co-workers son is sitting here and is shooting rubber bands at me, what I wouldn't give to have one of those

That cannon must have a helluva kick to get a 70ton tank airborne like that.

The cannon is not what got it airborne.  The tank is actually moving at about 45 MPH and firing at the same time.  Hit a bump in the road and went airborne.

Sweet pics.  There is just nothing like an M1 catching some air, makes for awesome pictures.  

 

Don't ya just feel sorry for the dumbass in the T-80 on the recieving end of a SABOT round...

SINCITY;

 

    I am currently at Fort Lee in VA.  Kinda strange I know, there arent any tanks here.  But my MOS is 63A (Tank Mechanic), and I am working at the Combined Arms Support Command writing training for my MOS.  I have been stationed however in quite a few places;  3/64 Armor, Schweinfurt Germany, 3rd ACR, Fort Bliss TX, 2/37 Armor, Freidberg Germany, 16th Cavalry, Fort Knox KY and presently here in VA.

Sweet.  I am an Army ROTC Cadet here at UNLV.  My unit is the Coyote Company, Wolfpack Battalion.  I have 4 semesters left of school until I get my commission.  I will be doing and SMP program with an Army Reserve unit here in the area starting in September, but I don't know the unit yet, just that it is an MP unit.  

 

Sounds like you have had a exciting career in Armor.  I have a friend who is a member of the 221st ACR, Nevada National Guard, who is shipping off to basic and tanker school next month, he is pretty psyched about it.
