“Other other-way”

We trust a person who can’t turn a handle the right way when directed to operate a $1m piece of equipment

Is it because she's a lefty?

What is that kaomoji?

Called a master blaster, triggers fail it manually throws a couple volts at the round and sets it off.
Hextator
It's a facepalm.

Is that Major Difficulty?

Embarrassing AF but I've been there.

I mean, the dude in the black gloves was giving the wrong instructions as well

You have not lived until you've been on a tank gunnery range, in a port-a-john during live fire.

I used to work as a civilian at an army training center. One time there was a lack of/ miscommunication with range ops and EOD >
kek686
did a detonation on the other side of a very small hill while I was looking at birds. It shook me... literally. Bout shit myself.
copingcabana
Why do tanks have a remote?
Imgerruinedimger
Two main reasons are for 1) testing new gun tube or breech block assembly and 2) manual firing if power on the tank goes out.
copingcabana
Cool. Is there a bluetooth option? :)
Imgerruinedimger
When I got out in 2010 no. They were adding all kinds of smart tech on them when I left though, they just might by now.
Filanwizard
is this thing some kind of special manual bypass in case the normal firing system fails? looks like a manual dynamite thing.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Yes There’s one mounted in the gunners station too. If all triggers fail (2 gunner 1 commander) you twist it. Creates a few volts of juice.
Thorbane
From what others have said, for testing the gun after maintenance. Because you don't want to do that while in a metal box with said gun.
Filanwizard
*note they had small units like this for explosives, it was not just the Wile E Coyote plungers

Clockwise. YOUR MILITARY CLOCKWISE, AIRMAN!
narcoleptiKnickers
Would you average recruit know which way was clockwise? Given they've only ever used digital clocks.
verityauger
Christ I just shivered.. If you're a grown ass adult and dont know that..... that's a serious educational problem.. ?
narcoleptiKnickers
Nah, language that is tied to redundant technology. "hang up the phone" They were vertically on the wall and receivers kept in a cradle ...
narcoleptiKnickers
Then there's "turn on the light" - gas lights were open and closed with a screw tap.

Any military people that can tell me what kind of tank this is? ……….. it looks like a good one…. Not like the horse shit out of Russia.
OdeToBouncer
It's an M1A2 in the 1st Armored Division. Doin' Tank stuff.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
It’s an M1. Prob testing a new gun tube. Done remotely for safety using a manual trigger.

Such a better tank than the T-14

Worst hand job ever. EVER

it resulted in a messy explosion, what more do you want?

I'm gonna make it so dry for you
PalaverQuader
but to be fair the dude saying "twist it to the right" also doesn't know how to operate his equipment.

Now you're just mashin' it.

MostLikelyNotWearingPants
occasionally ya gotta swap out a gun tube or recoil sys. Ect. When it’s done it needs to be tested. Needless to say, doing it inside 1/2
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
The tank can be no bueno. So you hook up a “master blaster” and fire the gun from outside the tank. Good times when that thump hits ya.
DuaneMarx1962
I was artillery. 2 of my favorite memories: feeling that shockwave the first time I saw guns shoot. Seeing a "boom test" in a motor pool.
Cayowin
When ever anyone says they were in art, all I picture is 5 guys going "WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY? HOW DO YOU SPELL TINNITUS?
CAustinC0x
Do we have female tankers now? That SGT firing the 120 with the plunger is a female, right?
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Yes we do and they kick ass. This Sgt here is not a tanker. Prob support MOS that was at the range.
CAustinC0x
When did females start becoming 19kilos? Granted it's been a while, but never saw a female tanker 4 years with 1CD. Support in HHC, sure.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
2016 For enlisted. Academy graduated their first 2016 that reported 2017. This is the class of 2020;
CAustinC0x
That is very cool. No reason they shouldn't be out there in 70 tons of steel. Thanks for the great news.

Recoil compensators and auto-leveling. Tech that keeps the barrel properly aimed even when moving. Cool shit. Expensive shit.
MisterLemons
M1 fire control accounts for wind direction, wind speed, air temp, air pressure, round temp, round mass, tube temp, tube droop, - >
MisterLemons
- > target speed, target range, magnetic field, curvature of the earth, rotation of the earth, and the local gravity field. Shit's no joke.
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
We do have a “stabe” system but there is no muzzle break. There’s a giant ass recoil spring / piston that handles recoil. Not even kidding ?
ATerribleArtist
Fuck that sounds scary to be around. I used a car spring compressor a few times and wasn't letting myself be around it more than necessary
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Scary and fun. But It’s all encased. You can Google M256 120mm recoil and there’s schematics. It’s a sweet design.
SgtLemming
Here's a funky one for you, 76mm shoulder fired weapon: https://youtu.be/HyAl9qK3Rlg

also, 60 fucking metric ton of weight, frankly this is my first time seeing Abrams shoot from this close. Feking amazing how it's so stable
Sipulikeitto
If you want more, check the "Gunner, HEAT, PC" game. Demo version available in their website and it's coming Steam Early Access soon(ish).
MisterLemons
72.5 including munitions, fuel, provisions, and crew to be exact.
dwayno
Was about to post the same. M1 weighs 60-70 tons, so, yeh, it's not going to rock like a pickup truck that weighs 1/30 of that at 2.5 tons
makeSX
I would love to see how a tiger2 or a jagdtiger recoiled when fitting a live round
hufwungpu
Cost of war aside, it is some breathtakingly amazing engineering that goes into these vehicles
WedgeGCrew
Yup, and that's a tank that was originally designed in the 70's, it's had upgrades but imagine the tank you could build now!
atleastivegotthisusernamegoingformewhichisnice
Imagine the tanks we’re developing now
angrytaco
As far as I know the US is not actively developing any tank platforms since the Abrahams still hasn't been defeated

I've seen heavier dips when I sat down in someone's truck...

I mean, I'm fat. I'm not sure what else needs to be told from the above statement.
GrumpyOldMillennial
I got into a smart car the other day. I'm 6'3 385lbs. That car handled it worse than that tank sending the rain.
SerenePrincess013
Smart cars are like smart phones. Not.

I believe the name was "Swatch Mercedes Art", so Smart, not smart. That said, id be using an electric one rn if i could.
