This guy was lucky he didnt eat the bolt, although it took a good sized chunk from his shoulder as it went by........

its a laser that aligns with the bore and projects a dot at 25-50 yards (depending on how your doing your sight in) and you adjust your scope to zero on the dot. So if it was me, I would be zero'd at 25 yards and that would be 1" high at 100 yards.

Well, we had a Challenger I tank during training in Canada, do a similar thing when the previous round got jammed in the barrel, unbeknown to the crew. banana splits, man!

Um Canada has never used the Challenger tanks man. thats a British design that the USA ALMOST bought before deciding to build there M1 tank.

Canada uses the leopard 2 which replaced its leopard 1 tanks lol.

Um and um I would love to see a tank barrel do that as I would figure it would just blow apart and probably kill the crew.
