Renagade 0 Posted April 13, 2002 Theres 2 things ive always wondered about tanks A; is it possible to run up an stick something nasty threw one of the holes and B: if the drivers turned out and the gunner decides to move the turret round will the drivers head get chopped off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted April 13, 2002 Another funny thing is the smaller the uzi\ingram the greater the ROF has probably due to the shorter time it takes for the bullet to come out the barrel and initiate the blowback mechanism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordZach 0 Posted April 14, 2002 i believe you typically lock the turret when you turn out heh as for the gunner thing i dunno although i did see something on tv last week that showed the loading on a M1A1. if you stood behind that thing it wouldn't be pretty.

Makes no difference whether it's the exhaust pipe, the cannon or the hatches. Regarding IDF female conscripts, is this what you're looking for? Zahal (pronounounced Tzahal) in Hebrew is the equivalent abreviation to IDF: TZ'va (Forces/army) Hahagana (Defense) LeYisra'el (for Israel) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "CH" sound is often difficult for many to pronounce, although it's common in certain languages, such as Dutch, if I'm not mistaken. It is not "CH" as is "chat" or "child". Many people can only pronounce it as "Hail" or "Hel". </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">and another question .... the idf used some captured t55 ........ what was their israeli designation ?<span id='postcolor'> Maybe you're referring to the Achzarit APC?

IceFire 0 Posted April 14, 2002 I saw on the news that the Isrealis had M113s. They were brown and looked alot more durable than the ones in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ran 0 Posted April 15, 2002 yes , the idf uses today some variants of the m113 , like the "zelda" apc or the "fitter" recovery vehicle the zelda is a modified m113 , a new armor has been added to increase the survavibility of the vehicle , the combats showed how weak was the m113 armor against rpg rockets , that's wh the m113 armor has been modified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
