I really do not know very much about the M1A2 - I have read that the M1A2-barrel is build without the "Autofrettage-System" - so my question:

Are there any video`s that show an M1A2 in Irak that fires during he is driving ?

Has anyone a link to such a video ?


Thanks !

As far as videos of tanks firing while moving. Most modern tanks have this ability and have for years. If you want to see videos, I recommend doing a search on www.youtube.com , there are a alot of great tank videos on there.

vielen Dank !


Hallo bhop73,

thanks for your answer !

Normally I am not so much interested in modern tanks But - a few days ago I bought a Leo from Graupner for my father and after buying I started to read a bit about and so I came from the Leo to the common development and then to the M1.

Yes, as far as I know Autofrettage is such a process as you said. The Leo barrel is build with that system and I read that the M1A2 is not build with that. I know different video´s that show the Leo fire while driving and I would be interested in comparing it with the M1A2. Because the Autofrettage-System is important for the balance of the barrel towards the possibility of fire during the drive (but I am really no expert).
As I know the USA and Germany developed in the 1960 or 1970 (?) a common tank prototype. Both used it after for the development for the Leo and the M1. So I would be interested in the System that is used while manufactoring the M1A2 and the result ... thought the easiest way would be to watch some video´s from a deployment in a war and I thought that maybe some interested know good scenes ...


Greetings
