OK I'd like to hear some advice about modern tanks and maybe have a few myths dispelled:
1. Are the machineguns used by the commander and, I believe, loader (?) detachable...can the men remove them and use them as personal weapons if need be?
2. If the crew is forced to leave the tank, do they have any means of defending themselves as there surely isn't enough room inside to keep enough rifles stashed away?
3. Do you get a mighty headache when the main gun is fired?
4. What's it like to be inside whilst being hit with smallarms fire- can you even feel or hear it?
5. In a lot of films tanks can be beaten by a brave soul clambering up on to the turret, wrenching it open and lobbing a grenade in- are the hatches not even bolted shut?
Anything specific to the UK would be most welcome but all informed answers are welcome- thanks!
