Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

[Trooper Hale]

Haha, i know! Everyone knowing i'm foreign makes it dead easy for you blokes to pick what i'm putting up.
I'm thinking that i might move to Peru or something and start using photos of their stuff. Maybe that would confuse you all a little bit?

 

[CrazyCanuck]

Well I knew you were Australian so I just put "Australian Army truck" in google and it was one of the first ones to come up.

Well I hope this works, here you go

Nice snap of British Navy Pom-Pom guns...i think! I think its 20mm too. But then i could be completely barking and i dont doubt that i'm not on the right page.

I didn't know that "truck" meant "boat/ship/floaty thing"  ;D

 

[CrazyCanuck]

Sorry, there's 70 pages I didn't want to risk a repeat, But Hale you're in the right era

Edit: The first post does say weapons

If you look closely, it says the word "busted" on the door.  I have no idea what that could mean... but maby it will help.  :-\

Adrian - The Aussie vehicle has already been ID'd 

The Naval Gun looks like the British0.50"/62 (12.7 mm) Mark III (like on the HMS Liverpool C11)

 

[CrazyCanuck]

Yep, you got it, and I thought that would be hard :crybaby:

 

[muffin]

Well I wouldn't say it was EASY... Hale's guess certianly helped *(Thanks!)

How about this - may be too easy ... but I like the pic lol

MOAB

Massive Ordonance Air Blast / Mother Of All Bombs

A.k.a Daisy cutter.......Viet-Nam era by the looks of it.  The current version looks quite different

 

[AmmoTech90]

Yes a Daisy Cutter, but not a MOAB.

BLU-82, 15000 bomb with a slurry explosive.  Thats whats shown.

The MOAB is the GBU-43 which is a 21,000 pound bomb with Tritonal.  Two different beasts.

D

OK Muffie, time to get a new avatar.  You just failed AFV Recognition.  You are starting to confuse Vehicles with inanimate objects.  ;D

 

[muffin]

Do you mean me when you say Muffie??? What did I confuse???

That is right - BLU-82B (and yes Veitnam era in the pic) - the Daisy Cutter was replaced by the MOAB in about 2003

A bomb and an AFV........

 

[muffin]

I was following the post of a naval gun... if the thread was focusing on AFV - I guess I missed that

 

[George Wallace]

That's why this Topic is in the Vehicle Section of Equipment..... ;D
