M1 Abrams
"Its never very crowded at the front." ~ Gen. Creighton Abrams
The M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank is the premier armored fighting vehicle in the United States Arsenal. The first totally new tank developed by the United States after the end of the Second World War, the Abrams is a force to be reckoned with by those who wish to tear down democracy and oppress those who are weaker then themselves. It is armed with an stabilized M68 105mm rifled cannon, a .50cal machinegun for the Commander, and a pair of .30cal machineguns, one for the loader and one mounted coaxially with the main gun. The M1 Abrams is protected by top secret Chobham Armour plating, said to be as difficult to penetrate as 2 meters of solid steel.
While the Abrams primary mission is to destroy enemy armor, the protection of the crew has not been neglected in the design. The ready-use ammunition is mounted in the rear of the turret in a specially designed compartment. If the ammunition is hit, purpose built blowout panels direct the explosion up and away from the crew compartment, ensuring the survival of the crew even if to ammo begins to cook off.
If you don't hav a raging freedom boner right now, something is seriously wrong.
