way back in elementary, i used to see a x66 mammoth tank @ C&C, i'm just curious if there is a real tank that has two primary guns. (well i'd still say that abrams is the best :) )

The Lee and Grant Tanks have 2 guns...kind of obsolete when we got into WW2 We gave a lot to the Brits. Top gun in turrent was I believe a 37 mm gun and gun in side coupula was probably a 75mm ..Ill hve to look it up on the web.Oh you are probably thinking of the giant British Mark IV tanks of WW1  They had guns mounted on the sides..The "males" had cannons and Females had machineguns.

The Russians have a new breed of tank with anti aircraft missles that can be launched out the main barrel (mostly for destroying helicopters).\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/t90/\n\n\nThe U.S. military doesn't really do tank battles (although a couple happened in the first gulf war).  Aircraft and artillery can make short work of tanks.  The U.S. feels that tanks are great if they are there, but they are extremely slow to ship around the world.  It takes like 3 to 6 months to move a shipment of tanks from the U.S. to Iraq.  That's why the U.S. has put more emphases on vehicals that can be shipped by air.\n\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/gvp/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/shadow/\nhttp://www.army-technology.com/projects/stryker/

1957.  As a very vrey young child I have vivid memories of a Fort Worth and Denver Mikado steam locomotive picking up a string of tanks cars on a late afternoon at the siding at the Herrietta Depot.\n\nI would like to see that engine going through its paces switching cars.\nFor some reason the burnished steel rods, shiney black paint\nand the overall presence of that engine are still in my mind.\n\nOR I would go back to being on a destroyer going through a storm off Cape Hattaras.  Green water up to the second 5"/38 gunmount, and having to hold on to the wheel for support as the ship pitches and rolled thorugh and beyond 20 degrees.\n\nOr Getting recognized for global achievement in sales performance on a stage with the comedian Sinbad and the dancer Gregory Hines. ( Apple Computer ) \n\nOr Austin, Texas, 1972.  What a special place and time then.

Both Engler and Cushman paintball make M1 Thompson replicas. Engler makes a quality product, while Cushman makes a more affordable, less durable version.\n\nhttp://www.englerpaintballguns.com\n\nhttp://www.cushmanpaintball.com

Try going to www.gunbroker.com and take a look at what they are each selling for. That would be the best indication. Books aren't very accurate. \n\nPersonally since its mainly sentimental, I'd just pick the one you like the most, or fire them both and find the one that has the best shot.

M1Abrams, Challenger, L'Clair (sp), T-90S, Merkava Mk 4.....I'd say the latest model of Leopard II Main Battle Tank.\n\nAbrams are fast, T-90s and Leclerc are faster. Merkava 3&4 are faster offroad.\n\nAll modern tanks can hit moving targets while they're moving. Leclerc and Merkava4 can do it even better through FCS-integrated autotracker and T-90 even much better through bore-launched ATGMs.\n\nGerman Rh120mm/L55 tungsten, israeli-improved 120mm GIAT tungsten and russian 125mm BM-44 U-Ni-Zn-alloy rounds have the same power through higher velocity (1750-1800 m/s instead of Abrams 1650 m/s)\n\nAnd in HEAT-rounds soviets always led anyway, their new tandem charge HEAT-round with DU-liner has 800mm RHA-penetration.\n\nI think, what gives me the choice of Leopard, besides the german history of good tank design, is their ability to deploy infra-decoys and smoke screens to hide from enemy tanks and heat seeking missiles.

When developing and/or purchasing ordnance, the aqcuisition authorities take potential threat weapons/arms into account and then decide which weapons and armor will ensure the maximum lethality against the tanks of potential threat countries.  Further, they will consider which specifications will provide their army the reach, ease of deployability, costs of replacement parts and ammunition...  The end result is normally the  option that satisfies all criteria best.\n\nI can't answer authoritatively whether a solid, non-explosive cannonball or even the hollowed projectiles would penetrate the skin of contemporary tanks, however, it's apparent the more commonly used cannons of the Civil War were not rifled and therefore lacked precision.  Also, tanks of today have reactive armor (thought the Stryker apparently does not) and the alloys utilized are pretty sophisticated.\n\nI don't believe the Ma Deuce is on the chopping block.  I can't think of any piece of equipment in our inventory that is as durable, versatile, and effective as the M2 .50 cal machine gun.\n\nA caliber is 1 inch.  One inch is 25.4mm.  .45 caliber equals 11.4mm or more specifically, .45 ACP bullet diameters run from .451 to .452 so using .4515 as an average, a .45 is 11.47mm.

I gotta go with the first one.  I forget the name, but it was designed to mark cows.  It started the sport...that's pretty important!!\n\nI gotta give credit to the orignal Spyder.  While crude by today's standards, it definately brought paintball to the masses.  It was cheap and reliable.  Without the Spyder, I'm not sure paintball would be half the sport it is today.\n\nAs far as the most advanced... well, I'm poor and never had the priviledge of shooting high-end markers.  So, no comment :)

It sounds like you guys are very set. While guns to not make a great team, experience does. If you guys are decent, then the guns will only help you reach full potential. All the guns mentioned are very solid. The wrath may not be as good as the others, but it is good for starting out. A coach is definately a must these days. Anyone who can help that has vast experience is great. They can show you how to play bunkers, what to look for, and even details like how to properly hold your gun. \n\nI would recommend a halo on all of the guns mentioned. This will give you the most from those markers. As a former matrix tech, i can tell you that the dm6 is very simple and very smooth shooting. The Shocker and Ion are similar and offer the same type of shot pattern with a slightly different feel. I cannot speak for the wrath. \n\n5 man is a great way to go. This is a VERY popular format nowadays, specially with the PSP. You can play whatever you want (3 or 5 man) and have fun.

Hey, I'd recommend the TL-R. Very solid, very reliable gun. I have one. I went Paintballing with my TL-R it's very conservative on C02 so you won't have to refill for a while, it's very accuarte once you tweek the Hop Up a little bit and get it perfect. Go with the TL-R they're relatively inexpensive and they last a very long time. And If you're looking to spend under 300, I can sell you the TL-R, Redz Paintball Armor, Woodland Camo, Full Head Helmet, 10 oz C02 tank with a Buttstock, a Neck Protector and Gloves for 275. Give me an Email at curnuttematt@yahoo.com if you're interested or if you have AOL instant Messenger, get me at Spartan Airsoft. Consider that, you don't really need anything else after that.

the tippmann 98 custom is the best because it is the only gun you need ever. great for beginner all the way to pro. i have one. i bought it because the people at the place where i go to said it was like hell trying to kill. it is accurate with a range of 150 ft right out of the box. i like it because you can customize the hell outta the thing and for less that an autococker you have a formidable piece of machinery. i put a stock and flatline barrel on my gun ant everyone said that they have to gang up on me to even stand a chance. and I'm just a recreational player. i want to buy a halo b hopper for it because they are able to keep up with the 15 paintballs per second fire rate. taht thing can hang in a firefight. shoot through holes slightly wider than the paintball. the best thing is that it costs around $170 dollars for the entire kit. heres the site. thats the one \n\nSource(s):\n\nwww.tippmann.com

Actually viper and frogprincess61 are close and right.  In wwII there was a man named Kilroy that worked in the tank factory.  His job was quality control.  He would inspect the tanks to make sure they worked properly.  Once they passed inspection he would write on them "Kilroy was Here" to show it passed inspection.  The logo of the man looking over the fence's origin is lost to time.
