   Yeah, a long time ago in the army I learned how to make a shape charge out   
   of a wine bottle with a hole cut in the bottom.   
   Blew some awesome holes through plate steel with it.  Don't remember the   
   details, but it's possible.   
      
   In short, you'd be amazed at what can be done to an unprotected tank.
