Metal Beast Early WW1 Tank

[@patlee6]

Just to clear up any ambiguity about this tank. IT IS A REPLICA, Owned by Sir Peter Jackson and based in New Zealand where this video was filmed. It looks good but the big give away is purring of it modern diesel engine. The sound of the original was deafening!

[@LetsTalkAboutPrepping]

@@mitchellchancey9868 they experienced a novel kind of horror. Tanks are magnets for bullets and artillery; these tanks would come back literally coated in lead from the bullets stuck to the outside, sometimes breaking down unable to carry the added weight back. At least a soldier on his own had an equal chance of being shot at as anyone else; in a tank, you are under a constant barrage of impacts against the steel just beside your head, just waiting for one to come through. The double tractor engines are right beside you, so if you're jostling more than 8 inches, you're scalded. It's around 100 degrees inside and if you don't wear a helmet you'll be concussed from hitting your head constantly. It's pretty awful ; in WW1 I probably wouldn't want to be in the tank
