If it is real, which i doubt, it'd be a big waist of money unless it was down scaled like 400%.

That's not a tank, and yes, it's a "silencer" of sorts...

I was going to say 'your tax dollars at work' but this has German insignia on the side.

Re: Did they seriously try to silence a tank?

could it just be something to shoot into... so shells don't actually fly down-range... to look at the shells after they've fired or whatever...

Re: Did they seriously try to silence a tank?

No, that really *IS* a tank silencer. It was constructed by the Rheinmetall corporation so that tanks at gunnery ranges in Germany wouldn't disrupt residental communities nearby (a lot of the bases and training facilities were built during the cold war, with the main concern being the red horde coming across the Fulda Gap and not the citizens nearby).

Kind of like a tank condom.


Is kind of a cool idea, make a tank sound like a pea shooter...
