Do Tanks Have Storage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMilitary tanks often do not have any storage capacity.<\/strong> They do not have trunks like many cars do, and the place where the soldier driving the vehicle is very small, barely big enough for one or two people to fit inside. There is no room for storage. While there may be a compartment for extra ammo, that will most likely be kept close to the soldier who is working the gun placed on top of that tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHow Much Does A Tank Weigh?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTanks are very heavy and weigh around 67.6 tons. <\/strong>This is because they are made out of heavy steel, made to be bulletproof, and made to drive through almost any weather condition. Often, tanks have a very heavy weapon placed on top of them, so the tank needs to be solid on the bottom to keep it from toppling over due to the weight of the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAre Tanks Always Used By Soldiers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTanks are not always used by soldiers who are deployed.<\/strong> They have loud engines and are very heavy. The weight of the tanks makes them hard to transport to other countries. Also, the weight makes it difficult for the tank to move quickly from place to place. During battles, time is of the essence. Many soldiers simply use Jeeps when they have to travel long distances or while moving very heavy equipment rather than tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, soldiers do not always have access to a vehicle. Depending on the mission and where they are deployed, soldiers may have to travel on foot, even though this is not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can My Tank Have A Gun?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA tank in the U.S. can have operational guns if the owner has a federal Destructive Device permit<\/strong>, and local state laws don’t prohibit it.<\/strong> However, in many states, the weapons on a tank have to be decommissioned in order to be street legal. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is mainly a precaution because state legislatures do not want someone who drives a tank down the street to become angry and shoot at civilians or destroy businesses. Now, that most likely would not happen, but they do have to make sure that it cannot happen rather than hope for the best that it doesn’t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeff Dunham made a video in 2017 where he showed off his tank. He even drove it to a car show, and he mentions that the gun has been decommissioned, and that is one of the reasons why it is legal for him to drive on the street. However, he doesn’t talk about the permits that he had to obtain to be able to drive the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
