In the seventies an L.A. lawyer owned an armored car with a turret and canon, I don't remember the make, and used it as his daily driver. The L.A. Police tried to stop him but... once he put on mirrors and turn signals, he won in the courts. It ended up on a Joe Walsh album cover:
I'd bet the gun is just a tube and the brake is just a sheet of steel. Dewat guns in the US are very touchy so to avoid problems, I'd have nothing for the LEO to see.
Almost like that. If I remember correctly that was a deranged individual. I just want to drive normally and let the Fast and Furious bounce off without raising my insurance rates if not killing me.
Well, you shoulda been there...you coulda been a hero while everyone else cowered. NOT!
You're pretty funny.
I guess you weren't aware of it when it happened, we that watched it know the "Tear-gas inside" simplicity was a non starter. It was closed up tight and if you've ever operated around tanks...which I have, you want nothing to do with climbing onto a hostile moving tank. I wouldn't even consider approaching the front where the driver's periscopes are. They waited until he'd crossed a traffic divider and then dug in the top hatch and shot him. They wasted no time. The damage he did during his run was not surprising for those that have seen these giants work.
Or my late grandfather's solution for stopping a tank "thrusting a shovel into the tracks".
I believe that my grandfather had "learnt the practice" or got the idea of "inserting a shovel" into a tank's tracks while serving in the Home Guard during WW2. I can't see it ever working but it would be interesting to know if it was ever accomplished even if under test conditions.
