I tried out a bunch of whatzis candidates on the expert first, and both of these went unidentified, at least as far as I know, so here you go...

Whatzis #1:

Whatzis #2

Enjoy,

[Armorer's note - just because Sanger put this up doesn't excuse you hosers from the *other* Whatzis still working. Slackers.]

OFS, Nope. The big gun on an AC130 is a 105mm. Of course, I imagine twin 40s, and a couple of 30s feel like big guns too, when you're looking back at em...

#1. Tank transporter. #2. What's left of the tank after the transporter stalled out on Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Camden.

Up for maintenance? Few choices, (taking into account museum stuff) if US. M-48, M-60, or Panther (I think thats the name of the M-1 based bridge layer). Of course, I also thought this was a jail cell.

#1 MajMike got the ramp, not "open" as much as just UP, though that's just semantics at this point. And not stuck, just parked that way for maintenance, etc. Made it easier to climb around on top of. (I'll post another shortly, hopefully with an animated GIF --I need to make it) Now can you tell which launcher version? (I couldn't from that pic, but hey who knows with you'se guys?) #2. MM Nope, and JMH nope (think bigger x 3.75)

Hah! I just figgered out *which* one it is, too. I sent that in a note to Sanger. Y'all keep looking. It *is* on the web. I'm still clueless on #1. But I'll get there.

This is Sanger's Whatzis - so all your usual habits regarding my stuff... are wrong. #1 Sanger was surprised I didn't get immediately (and still haven't gotten). #2 I know *what* it is, but I ain't figgered out *which* it is. Yet. Just goes to show, you seem brilliant when you control the message (think self-important college profs here) but when you gotta play by the rulez everybody else does... well, dem feets made of clay.

#2 Model of one of the navel guns intended for the defense of the Atlantic Wall. Never went past the paper stage, but the plan was for two of these to hide in a (semi)mobile barn-like building driven by 3 tiger chassis.
