T110's Second Century of Civilised Comfort

The_Chieftain:   Not an uncommon misconception. Remember, though, that there are several inches of metal between you and the bang. It is far louder outside the tank than inside, as there is uninterrupted line of audio from the muzzle to your ear. Instead, what you get is the very rapid movement of a ton of metal a couple of inches away to about a foot to the rear, the sharp, if muffled thud of the gun (not a boom or a crack), then the very loud clanging of the breech snapping open followed by (in a non-UK tank) the casing or aft cap bouncing its way to the floor, all while the tank rocks its sixty something tons back.   Raz, I've passed it up, but I doubt we can do much with it, unless he's associated his real name with the account somehow.
