Guy Built This Fully-Crewed Tank Simulator That Uses Empty Soda Bottles for Shells
21st August 2024
Astonishing.
The actions the loader goes through are exactly the actions that a real tank loader would take: Get the shell from the back ammo rack, throw it into the breech until the breech block locks, wait for the shot and the casing to be ejected, and repeat.
Of course a tank round weighs quite a bit more than a soda bottle, but still….
(Don’t get me started on how tricky this is when there are expended shell casings rolling around on the floor of the turret.)
