also, if that is part of the agreement rarely cashed in on, that just says alot for the efficiency of the army, not the job description.

yeah, a sable round has a core of spent uranium. if you looked at a tank that has been shot with one, it doesn't look too bad- from what i hear... it just punches a hole in the armor up front and two in the back (the exit) and the fire inside the tank creates a vacuum that sucks all matter inside through the little holes. it could really fuck up your whole day.

i got to fire one from a tank at the last gunnery- it was kind of a thank you for your hard work to the cooks. of course it was a training round- no uranium. but it was pretty cool. it's like a huge (almost 3 foot) bullet. and they handed it to me to carry over to the tank. they were like "don't drop it ok?" hahaha.

firing a tank is a really cool thing. you just look through the scope and find your target on the little pixelated screen, lock it in by squeezing your handles, and then a computer adjust your image for windage, and you pull the triggers. the whole front of the tank lifts off the ground! oh, and when they go to pull the round... the brass, or casing has evaporated.

iraqis don't even have a round that can penetrate our tanks from what i hear.
