Hated by the guys in charge
Loved by the crews

One of the many US vehicles wich recieved pointless critism, was the M50 Ontos

It was an excellent support vehicle for the USMC. Being very fast, excellent terrain performance and so on
The downsides where that the crew had to exit to reload the Ontos.

Yeah, that thing was like a giant armored shotgun. Pity it was recalled from service; there as a new model coming out, with aluminum hull ad full amphibious capabilities.

Hey! You up there! Don't insult Russian Airplanes!

Somebody asked for an intimidating american vehicle?



I'll give you intimidating!

Am I the only one who thinks the number of spikes on that plow is a tad bit excessive?

this is not "free will", it's manipulative and abusive!

I just saw some 19year old child on the news who will replace these guys that got killed. His respons to the question "How does it feel to go there now after this have happened" was... "it makes me wanna go there even more"....  :-\ free will.....yyyeaaa...... riiiite....  :-X

Say what? A 19 year old qualifies as a child? And his motives sound more like REVENGEE rather than being manipulated.


Yeah yeah, I know bad stance.. Sue me :)

I always loved these special tank variants  +1 for this one

And +2 for this one!!


Centurion MKI on the prowl. The MKI was unique, as it has a17PDR, and a 20MM polsten COAXIAL cannon.

The 20PDR appeared shortly afterwards, and only 340MKI's where build. the MKII with the 20PDR used a standard BESA MG as a coaxial

Centurion doesn't make bridges collapse at the thought of carrying one. Centurion doesn't move 5kph. Centurion doesn't cost a lot (for a tank).

<3 Centurion (Pwnturion, really!)

Canceled, sadly, and not American to begin with (but they are our baseball cap anyway!)



Those are the CRV-7, by the way. Armor piercing 70mm rockets, not your normal kind. More accurate than a 30mm cannon and can punch through a 3 ft concrete wall.

Dual MGs, and the missiles are dual anti-air and anti-tank weapons.

Only prototypes of the Centurion were armed with the Polsten cannon, the Mk.1 was armed with a 17pdr and coaxial BESA, as was the Mk.2, which had the improved cast turret that was used until the end of production. The Mk.3 was basically a Mk.2 armed with the 20pdr and coaxial BESA.

U.S. Marines from Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, protect an Afghan man and his child after Taliban fighters opened fire in the town of Marjah, in Nad Ali district, Helmand province, February 13, 2010. U.S.-led NATO troops launched a crucial offensive on Saturday against the Taliban's last big stronghold in Afghanistan's most violent province and were quickly thrown into a firefight with the militants

Damn cool pic.

German soldier and some dogs in gas masks.  I'm assuming this is from the interwar period, since he has a helmet with the side prongs and a rifle that probably isn't a K98k, but a WWII looking uniform.  However, this is all speculation on my part (since the site I got it from claims its a british soldier just a few days after the first gas attack at Ypres).
