its a laser that aligns with the bore and projects a dot at 25-50 yards (depending on how your doing your sight in) and you adjust your scope to zero on the dot. So if it was me, I would be zero'd at 25 yards and that would be 1" high at 100 yards.

Well, we had a Challenger I tank during training in Canada, do a similar thing when the previous round got jammed in the barrel, unbeknown to the crew. banana splits, man!

Um Canada has never used the Challenger tanks man. thats a British design that the USA ALMOST bought before deciding to build there M1 tank.
Canada uses the leopard 2 which replaced its leopard 1 tanks lol.

Um and um I would love to see a tank barrel do that as I would figure it would just blow apart and probably kill the crew.

Well either way would love to see pic's of that event. I just see a 120MM shot blowing back into the gun as well, and well that could be a bad day for the crew. but either way, sick lol
