#5 Tanking In The Wind

Ok its been awhile since i updated. But i made some jokes i will probably have to explain:

1) a Sabot round is a 120mm anti-tank round fired from a m1a1 (or a2)main battle tank. It does not explode when it hits its target, it uses its high speed to punch threw one side of the enemy tank and out the other so fast it takes every living thing out of the small hole it makes.
2) a .50 calibur is a high powered machine gun used by the tank commader on a m1a1 (or a2) tank. Its a very powerful gun and can punch threw most armor and walls. It can even kill some older model tanks.

Now thats done i would like to point out this is a true story, i just cut out the part when he made me do push ups. But in my defense i can say i have never really fired a sabot round at a person, its a waste of a very good anti-tank round.
