Default Check this out! Silencer on a tank!!!!

Looks like an M109 self propelled gun with a silencer.

A friend of mine ran across that in Dec '05. I posted it on Armornuts forum and got the following response back...


It is a 155mm M109 Paladin in a German Army ballistics test chamber.

Seen that ages ago, thought it was a dodgy photoshop -- didn't know what they were trying to do, didnt have an accompanying description

Sure it's not one of Perry's BB gun upgrades?

If that photo "leaked" out during the Cold War, maybe it was just to scare the hell out of the Soviets[X(]

That's not a silencer,it's more like a loudner.

Remember that bit from one of the "Police Squad" films with Frank Drebbin(Leslie Neilson)[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

He screws a big can onto the end of his gun and a guy asks if it's a silencer and Frank Drebbin say's "no,it's a loudner",pulls the trigger and makes one helluva boom with it.

I laffed my socks off.
