This is what it looks like from the machine gunner's position atop an M1A1 Abrams tank moving out at a smart 40mph.  These things will turn on a nickle, stop on a dime and give you nine cents change!  What you're seeing is actual training area for different urban scenarios.

This was quite the experience!  The photos are amazing, and hard to believe they have that kind of stopping power.

They are a marvel.  The ride is amazingly smooth.  Of course, they tend to flatten any rough spots.  ;D

Here's the guy you don't want to tick off.
