M1 Abrams Video.

This video shows what must be the world's largest shotgun shell. The 120mm canister round designed for the cannon of an M1 Abrams tank. The 50 pound shell contains 1150 .40 caliber tungsten pellets launched at 4500 fps, with an effective range of 500 yards.

Towards the end of this video it shows how much the pattern opens up at long range which decapitates every one of a row of targets that must be 30 yards across.

I'd love to take that tank for a buggy ride on our California freeways!
