    Normal tank rounds are 4.7"/120mm. That thing looked almost twice that diameter if the target was an average sized male torso. The result would be pretty much the same either way, but dang that was a huge bullet.

    Wonder how many shots it took to hit the dummy dead in the center? And at what distance?
