A chap we know does this sort of thing for a living. Thought it might be of interest.

Those Armortek tanks are excellent, I always wanted to build one but having seen how much they cost I'd think twice about blowing one up...

Very cool. Was this fired from a rifle? What is the legal situation with exploding ammunition? I know in the US you can own ammunition with up to 1/4 ounce of explosive - any more and you need to pay $200 and file a tax stamp for each and every round, I assumed in the UK there'd be a blanket ban going back to the 1920s.

Hmmm... these things certainly cost more than my car did and then people shoot them! :o

Certainly looks realistic though. Welcome to the forum magpiespyro

Very interesting, but I couldn't bring myself to do that to one of them.

I'd love one of the Armourtek tanks but

1) I couldn't afford one,
2) The garden isn't big enough!
