Having those go down the street probably snarls traffic, good thing it's early in the morning.

Looks like the tank is out gunned by a pair of 36 inchers.

I guess somebody really likes tanks.

Nice guns!!

I'm sorry, there's a tank in that photo?

Better yet: tanks for da mammaries...

Neffi - I'm saving all my energy for the clip-vs-magazine thing, and the horrible diminution of the word "awesome" so that it pretty much means... "Hey, neat!"

I'm just gonna note the civilians are betrayed by the ignorance of the media, who can't tell the difference between high quality iron capable of hitting unseen targets miles away, and pedestrian armored rifles that pretty much only shoot at what they can see.

Nice way to handle traffic issues! They always told us, "Don't always believe what you see or think you see!" @Marine6, I notice you picked up on some of minor details in this photo. *Note, details matter!* I'm just glad, I'm not the only 'dirty old man.' Marine, when you look at photo like this, always look at the background and don't get distracted. Yeah, like you need to be told, distractions, distractions, distractions. On second thought, as an old Vet, I'll take them.

Oh, and I guess I should concede that the high-end "armored rifles" these days are really... smoothbore muskets, shotguns if we want to be charitable.

Ooooh such awesome snarkitude!

..and that right there is why they invented the "travel lock"... 

keeps the big guns from just swinging to and fro and all willy-nilly jiggity bounce all over the place...

Someone must be a briefs man, around here.

I can't see the picture/video :o(

Hmmm, gentlemen, can we agree on the fact that the Baroness can't see the feminine pulchritude that springs (poit!) forth from that page is probably a good thing...?

T-80 hull ...
T-72 powerpack ...
... capability is not synonymous with guaranteed delivery.

Ah yes, the smoothbore musket, firing rounds enclosed in wooden shoes suitable for luddite reactionism. Otherwise known as the Long-Rod Penetrator.

Cheers

True, JMH - all those tankish-components do detract from the overall efficiency of the artillery mounted thereon.
