It stopped me in my tracks, because it was my 7 year old doing the explanation![:O] Upon some discussion, it turns out his information is in reference to a Star Wars movie.[alien] It makes me wonder what your point of reference might be?[;)] "May the farce be with you Luke Skywalker" <<<my son's name is Luke! [/quote]As to weather it is SABO or sabot I will have to check. But, my source is a ex-Marine tank commander. He knows his stuff. Plamsa does form on the end of our fast anti-tank round, which when fired form the M1-A1 can hit a pie plate three miles away. [/quote] It is Sabot, but it is pronounced "say-bow". cpbloom......ex-Army Tank Gunner/Driver/Loader [:)] [/quote] CP ......As an ex-gunner I ask, why, in a non-armor vs armor, urban environment would a crew have a silver bullet in the tube with minimal blast/frag capability....being a KE round, when a HEAT round would provide a better result against buildings, bunkers and personnel firing from defilade? The tankers I know wouldn't waste an expensive penetrator to punch a hole through a building when a HEAT can blow it up and collapse it on the bad guys..... [/quote]And heat would work in a pinch anyways, on a tank. Beats me, maybe our military expert will know!
