Most of it is older Soviet era stuff............A T-55 or BMP would be lots of fun, and parts spare parts are wasting away in warehouses in the Czech Republic by the tons.
Cmon, Don............You know you want a tank!

Of course, one thing leads to another.........If you have armor, you need air support!

If I was rich...........I would be dangerous.

$35,000 for a Russian tank?.............Hell, they want 50K or more for a new truck!

I could start learning Russian so I could read the manuals!

I don't know about ducks or geese, but I'll bet it would be great for brush clearing!

Isn't there actually a AP round that spreads a pattern of shrapnel against infantry targets?
I say ODFW would take offense to that.............but hey, your in a TANK! close the hatch and ignore them.

Yep, we had them in Nam for our 105's I think they were called "flechette" sp? rounds. They had 5,000 small triangle shaped sharp metal pieces in the round. Last shot round before you get overrun.........We used them to clear the jungle.

Perhaps a Soviet surplus ZSU-23 AAA quad mounted 23mm cannons mounted on a T-55 chassis would be the best bet for those high flying ducks and geese that are always JUST out of 12ga. range?

So we went to the same party last night that we've gone to for probably the last twenty-five years, and one of the things we do is play "the gift-stealing game".

We took a three-pack of hot chocolate mixes, and a small wind chime (just to annoy someone).

Marge came home with a rather-large candle, and I got a calendar with the monthly musings of a first-class Hollywood whack job!

Those turkeys take the fun out of everything. Oh, wait a minute, I have turkey tag, good for one turkey anyway.
