Some kinda over-the-top electric cow prod

Correct, go ahead.

Kudos, monkey. As promised.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Probably quite easy. I'm going to get some kip now though so it may be some time before you get confirmation.

[BlackScorpion 0]

Yellow Sun nuclear bomb, first high-yield British nuke.

Now I'll go and find something to post... in about 12 hours.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Yellow Sun was right. I believe the one pictured is a Mk.2 with a Red Snow warhead.

Thank god it wasn't "Yellow Snow" snow, that would be something awful.  

[Messiah 2]

whereas red snow just sounds like you need your kidneys checking out

Ladies, please

So, who or what's next?

BUZZARD @ April 09 2007,15:12)]So, who or what's next?

It's open for everybody since Blackscorpion hasn't posted anything yet.

To keep things going:

[Johannes 10]

Granite APC

[Ironsight 1]

Yes, your turn.

[Johannes 10]

easy one:

[ran 0]

FlakPanzer Coelian turret mock-up ?

[Johannes 10]

yup, your turn

[Messiah 2]

bah, was about to say that, but was trying to see if it was anything more than a prototype turret...

those wheels are so easy to ID

[ran 0]

Relatively hard one.

[Messiah 2]

all I can think of is its the predecessor to the german goliath tracked mine, designed by the french engineer Adolphe Kégresse, and dredged up from the Seine by the germans from which they based the goliath...

cluthing at straws because I've assumed the guy in the funny hat has to be french

[ran 0]

Yup, spot on, the "Engin K", Goliath's daddy You can see two exemples twinned here.

[Messiah 2]

bloody hell... didn't think I was right - The twinned bit was confusing the hell out of me.

best find something for you lot then

[edit]

ok, here's one for you (just to make it clear, they're the same vehicle in terms of its current name/designation - different for which country you're looking at, and I want the full name, otherwise its easy):

[Messiah 2]

is it really that hard? I'd have expected Ironsight/Ran to have answered within 30 seconds and given us another bizarely impossible one to guess

[Pathy 0]

Well i'm not finding its full name

[Adamicz 3]

SEP .. swedish Armored Modular system

[da12thMonkey 1943]

If we're going for full names it's BAe Land Systems Hagglund Spitterskyddad Enhets Platform (SEP).

No it wasn't that hard, I'm just finding it hard to find good vehicles to post myself when I get them right.

adamicz was first though really, so his go next.

[Messiah 2]

that's close enough for me (BAE Hagglunds would have scored you extra points )

(lol chris, I meant I didn't want someone just coming along and answering FRES, as while its now part of the BAE FRES, its a bit of a vague lable to place on anything)

[edit]

da12th got the full name, but adam was essentially right - whoever posts first/wins the epic battle of wills is next - and I didn't think so, but I'm struggling to think of anything vaguely british in this century to post anymore - I don't see the point of just googling 'weird tank' for the sake of this thread, more fun to share stuff you've discovered/know about.
