Good stuff: beer and tanks. Fortunately, not a drop was spilled.
I need a dynamically stabilized gun mount for my video camera!

I remember a few WW2 documentaries, they were talking to this one old Tiger Tank crewman, they asked him what eventually happened to his vehicle. He said it broke down a mile out from leaving the repair depot and the war ended before the parts arrived. Later they asked him if he had to fight the war all over again what tank he would want. He immediately answered, 'the tiger'. Another old German soldier was talking about always having to carry two ammo boxes for a squad automatic weapon that fired 1000 rpm. He explained how he preferred his bolt action rifle to auto and semi auto rifles since it imposed disciplined ammo conservation. No contradictions there.
