m1a1

Tank, Full-Tracked, 120mm M1A1.

The M1A1 Abrams is by far the workhorse of the United States Army's Armored Force. All tanks used in the initial invasion Of Iraq in OIF were A1's. Not the High tech M1A2SEPs of the 4th ID or the M1A2s of the 3rd ACR.

Prooving that CITVs and FBCB2s are not needed to annailate enemy armies.

The M1A1 is equpied with the M256I 120mm smoothbore cannon which has a effective range of 3870 meters because this is the highest range the ballistic computer can compute when creating the firing solution.

The Commander's weapon is the M2 Caliber .50 Heavy Machince Gun or "Ma Duece" with the M-10 charging feature. This gives the Tank Commader an advantage over A2 TCs, there is a sight for the machine gun inside the tank allowin percice aim and steady fire out to tracer burn out at 1200 meters. On the A2 the FLEX M2 must be used so the TC is basicly shooting from the hip.

The gunner, or GOLF, has a M240 machine gun mounted coaxialy of the main gun. Meaning where ever the target retical is aiming the COAX and the main gun are both aiming there. Tracer burn out is at 900 meters however kills have been confirmed at 1200 meters.

The Loader is equiped with a M240 Machine Gun as well. It gives him somthing to hold on to. This weapon is used as a scare the enemy with noise weapon. Becasue shooting the gun is never practiced and the weapon mounted there in in acurate.

Tanks are the true problem solvers

It took 4 hours to get the 88 to our location so we can pull the pack from the damaged M1A1

m1a3

A tank that doesn't really exist. That guy is sure uneducated, the latest version of the Abrams series is the M1A2 SEP. The first version of the Abrams had stabilization to fire on the move. the M1A1 incorperated an NBC Overpressure system, not sure what this guy is talking about.

The M1A3 does not exist.

M-4

HA HA M-16s aren't "Machine Guns" they are Assualt Rifles. And the M203 is not the most commonly attached equipment. That would be the M68 Sight and the PAQ-4 Infaread targeting device or the PEQ-2 Infared targeting device that EVERY member of my squad has as opposed to the 2 guys in the squad that have M-203 Grenade Launchers.

In Iraq I killed 6 Iraqis with my M-4 Carbine
