Good link Lucern, I had not seen that one.

Tanker by trade, but for the last years I have been a TWAT, as have most of my brethern. These modern missions call for *motorized* units, same ground pounding stuff as the grunts, but we don't get the cheesy badge!

In essence the author was very sure of his knowledge, but maybe slightly weary of his grasp of the language. One thing I noticed, he did not acknowledge that the LEOII, and the M1A1/2 share the same cannon, ammunition, and characteristics.

The ammo is harmless and has 0 reading while stowed. However, once it has been fired, and penetrated hard armor, something goes awry with the U92 version, hence the DU awareness.

I didn't snoop all of the links, but me tinks, this article was written during the latter part of the 90s, as his thoughts refer to the 140mm. At that time, that was the next step. However, there is *nothing* on the modern battlefield that the 120mm "shotgun" can't penetrate.
