Bourjaily: Shooting Skeet with a Tank
I love the giant clay target and the huge trap in this clip.
If you were wondering: The clip is part of a beer commercial for Carlton Dry. The tank, although it looks like a French AMX-13, is actually an Austrian SK-105, which has a 105 mm gun. If you were really shooting tank cannons at monster clays, you would want to load one of these (I know, I have posted this before, but that was before I knew there were giant clay targets):
Mel Brooks did a similar gag – funnier and in much worse taste – in “History of the World, Part I.” Playing Louis XIV, he calls “pull” and shoots at peasants flung through the air. “It’s good to be the king.”

LOVED IT !
The "History of the World" thing is STILL funny after all these years too !
Merry Xmas Fellas and your families, and thanks for all the effort and fine articles.
hilarious! thanks for sharing
O'BROTHER!
Gives incoming and street sweeper a new meaning!
That really takes skeet shooting to a whole new level.
I want a cannon and some canister loads...don't know what for, but sure I could find something that would look better full of holes....a brutal load, wouldn't want to be anywhere but behind it....
This is some funny *hit...bigger toys always make a GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!!
Wouldn't you love to see the facial expressions when you show at the next skeet shoot with this rig?
Hilarious video, as I watched I thought, "Man, all we need is some 500 pound ducks, and we got ourselves one heck of a good time!"-just one problem, the tank isn't Realtree!!
Those high flying geese don't have a chance!
Elmer Keith would love it.
The things men will do for beer...
There are BETTER things than beer Bella! ;)
As my neighbor commented after seeing this video, " I guess size does matter!"
My God! What a dispersion. Makes the Claymore look like small potatoes.
Correction: Mel Brooks plays Louis XVI (not XIV) in History of the World, Part I. I got my Roman numerals backwards.
Phil,
Where can I get some of those monster clays?
Maybe I can hit them the regulars are to small I keep missing.
Probably would make a good long range deer getter. Got my first deer with a 1978 ford fairmont. Have eaten 2 that a fellow finished off with a mag-light after hitting them with his truck. There is also another cool video on youtube from down this way. I'll post the link with your permission.
PRETTY FUNNY Shooting skeet with a tank
Clay your right ,. good for geese,. in the next zip code.
BUT the shotdun round from a tank ??
CHEEEEERSIT,..deliver any one in the way of that.
Unles it Benladden ( sp ?) of course,..
two rounds for him
Glad "Charlie" didnt have that (like in a fieldpiece) dug in on some God for saken hill.
Imagination (mine) probabaly can't quite register what a mess that woud have been.
Anyone know what caliber the shot is ?
Can't inagine the military using steel so maybe heavy shot for people ?,.
Saints preserve us ,.. makes a machine gun look like
musket fire and my skin crawl just watching that.
Bet the sound of that stuff just flying through the air would give you nigtmares for the rest of your life If you managed to live through it .
Yohan, I am not familiar with that peticular tank, but MOST Nato tanks have main guns between 105-120 mm It will probably have at least 3-4 POUNDS of shot. Maybe more I was not a qualified tanker. I will try to find more accurate info and post it.

So, if Pterosaurs ever make a comeback we are ready?
Well, I got a +1 and no objections so maybe I can guide you to the video without anybody getting rubbed wrong. I Know I said that I will post it--still will if yall want me to. It is just as easy if not easier to go on youtube and type in cahaba river slab and then click on the first(top)result. It is a video of still pictures to the song, "redneck side of me". It just shows people having fun--some are my friends. Don't look for me cause I'm not in there. I only go there every now and then. It's just a cool, well made and organized video made by a 12 year old boy.
The canister round contains approximately 1150 round balls described as "marble sized." The balls are made of tungsten -- well, probably tungsten-iron alloy -- so they are non-toxic. Good news if pterosaurs turn out to be migratory!
What about "bee-hive" rounds with "finned nail's" as "shot" !
haha what ever u are hunting or trying to make go extinct with this tank will most likely not fair so well... i like the giant clays that is hilarious.
the clay terget comercial is hilarious. That shot gun blast from a tank doesnt look like a good thing to be on the recieving end of.
Jaaaysus,.. Christ keep us,..
Thank you Moshie & Mr Bourjaily
The other night (dreaming) after watching the effect the tank shotgun round had on targets ,.
I was 19 again ,.fighting up a hill in the S. E. Asian confernce,.
Latitude and logintude lost in the mists of time ,. Hill number (God knows what ) with the map co-ordinates in one hand blured by the blood of my brothers sprayed on my face and flooding both my hands,.. trying to stop the bleeding.
Charlie ( some how ) had that weapon and made hamburger out of our multiple platoones converging on a pass on top,.
I woke up then (thank God) ,. and while I dont drink usually when I wake up at night,.
for one reason or another I had a big scotch ,..as I sat there waiting for my breathing to get back to normal and my hands to quit shaking .
Marry Christmass folks and best to our men and women serving on the ground,..where erver they are.
Yohan
