    the hull of an m48 viewed from above the bow looks like cupids bow, the same area on an M60 is straight across like a knife. A soldier standing between two that were front to front was cut in half by this feature. I didnt think much of his skills as a ground guide. plus there was a mess to clean up!! alll kidding aside tanks are dangerous things to mess with

    I don't think we really want to see pictures of such a terrible accident... How did it happen?

    Tanks are indeed dangerous things, but the last thing you'd expect to be lethal on a tank would be the shape of its front hull.
