TANK TIME!

Posted by disasterarea Nov. 7, 2009 @ 10:02 AM EST

M551 Sheridan - the tank that was used in Vietnam. Technically an Armored Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicle, it could be dropped from a C-130. And it could swim.
Its gun was somewhat unconventional, as it used the MGM-51 Shillelagh gun-launched missile fired through a 152mm rifled barrel. It could also fire 152mm caseless cannon rounds, but their use knocked out the missile's delicate firing system.
Armored with aluminum plates, it was not a very durable vehicle. RPGs and mined could easily destroy it.
STATS
Primary weapon: M81E1 rifled cannon, firing the MGM-51 Shillelagh, or caseless 152mm rounds.
Secondary weapons: early models used the M219 tank machine gun, later ones used the M240C as a coaxial gun. M2HB mounted on turret.
300hp 6-cylinder GM engine.
