The Muzzle Of A Tank
The international sign for “You Are So F***ing F***ed!”

Hmm, good thing the barrel is rusted out on the inside.
It isn’t rust, the inner most portion of the barrel’s metal is dyed red-ish a few mm’s in so they can gauge the amount of wear on the barrel, they don’t do it anymore, it is an old school method. There is some useless information for you.
Very nice use of unnecessary information
Actually that is rust. The Leopard 1 does not have a red dye in the rifling. A metal gauge is used to determine how worn the barrel in. That an number of rounds that have been fired through that barrel are logged to determine lifespan of the barrel. The reason i know this is because i was a tanker for 15 years in the Canadian forces.
futonlife just got counter-PWNed!
You, sir, just won the internet.
I thought after our bet the other day you would appreciate this.
Not true in the middle east its an rpg
LMFAO, You mean like this- http://verydemotivational.com/2010/02/19/demotivational-posters-open-highway-facilitator/
Or even better this- http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=3066114304
I think it’s a Leopard I, made in West Germany and used by a number of armies, including West Germany, Netherlands, and Canada.
Yeah I think your right, definitely looks like the one in this picture:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leopard1_cfb_borden_2.JPG
In fact I just realized It is the EXACT SAME ONE just from a different angle, the building in the background is the exact same, that’s funny.
This is the Worthington Tank Museum in Ontario, Canada. Good Call warhorse
It’s the same tank, different angle.
Proof:
Look at the building in the background. See the edge extending out about halfway up the side? Look at the wiki pic. Same building.
The sidewalk just confirms it
Not a Leopard. A Leopard is armed with a 120mm Reinmetal gun that is smooth bore. Not rifled.
A smooth bore tank? Really? You’re going to lock that in, are you?
Umm no, the Leopard 2 has a 120mm smooth bore gun made by Reinmetal, the same gun that is on the M1A1 Abrams tank. The Leopard 1 pictured here at the tank museum in C.F.B. Borden Ontario Canada has a 105mm rifled main gun. Again, I served on these vehicles for 15 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.
A lesson to be learned: don’t try to argue with someone who has served the army for 15 years.
Most definately rust, and yes its Canadian, and its sitting on the lawn across from me right now.
CFB Borden, Ontario. I have the exact same picture, just closer up, and with snow on the ground.
why does a tank need rearview mirrors, if you drive a tank people should know to get out of the way of a tank thats driving forward let alone backwards
It’s a Canadian tank. If you don’t realize you hit the car and flattened it, you can see the wreckage in the mirror and say sorry. Simple as that.
Actually its so you can drive them on civilian roads.
Landsknecht – Nope, that’s a Leopard 1. You’re thinking of the Leopard 2 – bigger, more powerful with 120 mm smoothbore (German design, also used on the M1A1 onwards, the Merkava 3 onwards). That’s the barrel of the British Royal Ordance L7 105mm which was used on a number of western tanks in the 60s and 70s such as the Merkava 1 and 2, the M60 Patton, the original M1 Abrams and later versions of the Centurion.
Tank geek, I am.
@everyone:
SHUT UP AND RESPECT THE F@#%ING TANK!!!
YAY SOMEONE WITH SENSE NOT TO ARGUE IN FRONT OF A TANK THT CAN BLOW U STARAIGHT TO HELL!!!!!
i agree with karen
Its weird to me, because i thought that even the old leopard tanks had the smoothbore gun. Guess not. Nice pic, great tank even though its old now.
OMG a tank!!!
Rear view mirrors? Must be a French tank. That’s how they can see where they’re going.
Pssh, I’ve seen bigger. Hell, I gotta bigger one than that….
