SHOT......

Not just a single round, either. Bobby came through and put a second round in the target for me! Thanks, Bobby!

De nada.

Although honestly when I typed my reply I didn't know you had already sent the answer.

Great minds, and all that.  ;)

Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
We Were Soldiers
Bridge over Kwai

Inglorious Bastards for comic value.

OK there Armor branch

Here's the question

Test you a bit on this one

What tank was it that they used for the movie?

Give me the type and some information.

I was Armor before I was Aviation.

Still have a couple stretched and flattened vertebrae from changing tracks on an M-60...

GO ahead, ask your buddies...You will need help on this one! ;-)))

A T-55 that was captured by the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War, and modified through the addition of a 105mm main gun in place of the original 100mm. It was re-designated by the Israelis as a Ti-67. There were also several T-55s used in the film.

Very Good!

The addition of the L-7 M-68, 105mm British cannon and some key automotive changes made all the difference going from a so-so tank to a pretty good one.

Looks like the Private has a commanding lead over the General

We'll let it cook a bit longer...

The Israelis have done a lot of good work upgrading war machines they inherited from other countries. Look at what they did with the M4 Sherman, adding a high velocity 75mm gun (M-50) and later 105mm gun (M-51) coupled with a Cummins diesel. With the gun upgrade and later addition of reactive armor, this WW2 veteran served Israel into the 1980s.

I thought "Come and See" was a very interesting flick.
