[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 845729, member: 25383"] there's a film clip out there that shows an M1 turret mounted on a stand alone fixture, and being shot with a 5" naval gun using APC in a side shot. The folks pointed out how well the turret held together without penetrating the inside. (newer M1a1 and M1a2's are even better) But it also was rather obvious that they never realized the "jello factor!" No one inside there would have survived the concussion! The burn your referring to was probably the case less ammo. One round out of the blast container is all it takes to cremate an entire crew. There's a new main gun design that completely eliminates this issue, but seems to be stalled out. gary [/QUOTE]
