FPS Russia in a real Sherman!

miles79, on Mar 13 2015 - 20:16, said: We have 4 Shermans at work. We use the M4A3 for a lot of parades and such in the area. The short 75mm on it is a registered live gun (or destructive device since it is above .50 cal). We shoot a lot of half load blanks (was in the movie that they released at PAX East), but I am still working on some live rounds for it. There is a way to make a "plastic" projectile to load in the blank cases, but I would have to turn some sort of sizing die and seating die for the 75mm cases. The sound and recoil from even a half load blank is pretty impressive. We were hoping to bring it to PAX East, but the 9 feet of snow in the 4 weeks leading up to it kept us from being able to get the truck/trailer down the narrow roads. Maybe at some point PAX East will be held in the warmer months.   Found a video that someone put up on youtube of an event that we had where I was firing the main gun:    The sound from the GoPro behind the gun is pretty disappointing, but is real life it is pretty impressive.
