Heck I'd love to go there just to see all this hardware a Leopard has a go this year.
The quad minigun turret phew that throws out some lead the night shoot it awesome, its a bit long but worth seeing all the different weapons in action.

No way, you'd come back a broke man because you'd have to shoot everything...and drive the Leopard. I had one on the road, they're not like anything else.Quote:

So the aerospace crew took away allot of the light from the other vendors, I mean you'd waste $20K just for a full set of mags on that quad mini gun.
I am still amazed how one can posses and have a working tank in the USA is it BAFTA that do your weapons how would you get a licence for it probably go like this;
'I'd like to license a weapon please'
'Okay no problems and what type and caliber is this weapon'
"Oh! cool, its a Leopard 1 main battle tank with M.G's and a 105mm cannon'

BAR ~ you got to hand it to the Germans they know how to build tanks, I'd love to get a peak inside the new Panther but that for me would be like going to the moon not gunna happen.
You never know, there are such things as military day at your local armory...we used to do them. You had the chance to see and hold things.Quote:

I only have one regret, when they had the Ball Turret available with twin fifties. I stood there for 20/25 minutes
while some guy went through all kind of contortions to get himself inside.
By the time he was done, so were my legs so I headed to my spot and got in the recliner.
You could also shoot it through the entrance door

Too bad, those Sperry ball turrets were for small men anyway. The quad would be simple and rewarding.Quote:
