@MapleSephiroth Not the ones that come thru the top of the turrent .

@MapleSephiroth A good portion of the usable M1s are still A1 or A2, which has this "little" problem...aaaand the first and second gulf war weren't that long ago...

[MapleSephiroth]

@AKAtheA That was a LONG time ago. The APU is mounted inside the tank instead of outside now.

[AKAtheA]

@MapleSephiroth the M1A2 has been repeatably proven to have it's APU disabled with a .50 cal :D

[MapleSephiroth]

@Alloyaha ATGM's are used to kill main battle tanks. A .50 cal won't even scratch a T90, T72, or M1. An ATGM is very cost effective though, dude. You can use a 14,000 dollar missile to destroy a 4,000,000+ dollar tank.

@tibchy144 those are not armor piercing rounds.. maybe that is wyh numb nut.

[Alloyaha]

@mymonterey For one it's cheaper. You can either fire an ATGM for about $14,000 a shot. Or a burst of .50 cal for about $2.00 a shot? Which would you rather have your tax dollars used for? Cheap and effective, or expensive and effective?

[nananghb]

to shot at two target at the same time

[tibchy144]

looks like it didnt penetrate the armor plate
