   I guess he is accepting the loon attacking an Abrams tank with a .22   
   pistol would be torn to pieces by it's fletchette (SIC) rounds?   
      
   That he is unaware they were in the M1 platform and doesn't even know   
   how to spell the word doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his   
   self-professed familiarity with tanks.   
      
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Abrams   
      
   The main armament of the original model M1 was the M68A1 105 mm rifled   
   tank gun firing a variety of high explosive anti-tank, high explosive,   
   white phosphorus and an anti-personnel (multiple flechette) round.
