Re: Stranger Than Fiction Armor


This design was a proposal to transform the US M101 howitzer into a self-propelled artillery vehicle.

The idea was never adopted however despite the really cool wheel configuration.

Laying wire? It looks like there are spools lying there. It sure would beat a 3/4 ton.

The spools of cable are a great clue. So is the shape.

It looks that way for a reason, believe it or not.
