a tank

"In the ongoing Syrian Civil War, rebels have developed their own tank, [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODbKLnApKrY"]Sham II.[/ame]
The tank is fitted with five video cameras and uses a PlayStation controller to
operate the machine gun. (Pictured) Sham II of the Al-Ansar brigade in action in Bishqatin, Syria."



If we got busy with our kids toys and our Landies just imagine

Ok stay with the Abrams

Well the name fits...Sham

I give it 2 seconds against a real tank...or depleted uranium round from any source beyond the range of that rust bucket.

5 points for determination, 5 for creativity, Minus 20 for researching the opposition

i agree, however, 2 things:

tank vs tank is so rare
there are no real tanks on the ground in Syria

[NavyDiver]

Agree no tank battles. RPG or even a 50cal might make mince meat of a Sham.

The Shams playstation controlled weapons systems is ingenious.

500 reasons to not be in a tank in Syria

Saudi Arabia just replenished Syrian rebels with one of the most effective weapons against the Assad regime | Business Insider

"That's no fewer than 1,800 T-55, T-62 and T-72 tanks plus BMP fighting vehicles exploded, burned, disabled or seized by rebels"

How- TOW

Still think even a humble 7.62 SLR might trouble the Sham at a better cost given a TOW might be $58,908

T34 2" to 5" in thickness armour Sham 1/4 inch steel (or less?)

The maker/designer of the Sham 11 Mahmud Abud of the Al-Ansar rebel brigade thinks it would stand up to "23 mm cannon fire"

A 1/2 inch steel plate at 350 metres at LIttle River Rifle range looked like swiss cheese from admittedly a lot of shots. Not at all sure I would like to be driving Sham into 23mm fire Down the free way behind my bike could be cool

Given my choice of

• The nature of the Ammunition
• The chucking device
• the engagement area

Id happily brass up against that thing with as small as 5.56.

hell, with sufficient lack of caffine, on a bad enough day with a big enough head of angry up in a tight enough urban environment if it was unsupported Id have a go at making that things crew very unhappy with a 9mm pistol.

as to what it would survive against, thats a typo, the decimal is one digit too far right.

You realise I was joking,I've shot cast alloy bullets through 1/2 plate with one of my 303's at 100mtrs so you wouldn't catch me in that thing. Pat
