It's been 9 years FFS. They're saying 2025.  https://history.army.mil/museums/TRADOC/fortBenning_natArmor/index.html The U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection is raising funds to build the National Armor and Cavalry Museum. We want to create a world-class museum to honor all our mounted warriors--past, present, & future--and their families. The site is on land adjacent to the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. When completed, this site will be the U.S. Army's largest museum complex. We are projecting a 2025 opening. In the interim, part of the US Army Armor and Cavalry collection can be seen at Pattons' Park which displays nine armored vehicles representing WWII-Desert Storm. The vehicles on display are the M4 Sherman, M26 Pershing, M48, M60A3, M1 Abrams, M3 Bradley, M113 ACAV, M114 and the M551 Sheridan. This is an open air walking trail located just outside the Fort Benning, GA entry gate on Benning Blvd (future site of the National Armor and Cavalry Museum and adjacent to the National Infantry Museum). The main collection is housed at a restoration and storage facility and is not opened to the public. Pattons Park will also see some much needed enhancements over the next 18 months that will include improved trails, vehicle pads and spaces for additional monuments. Please consider donating to our Pattons Park and Monument Walk Project. They're actually moving the T28 into their new display building any day now.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 4xGM300m: At least tested on some poor dissidents. It's a good question. Short of asking somebody who was in Spetsnaz and willing to talk about missions, it would be really hard to say with any certainty. I remember reading a mention of the carbine version in an article somewhere, and the writer used the adjective "quaint". Yeah, maybe. Unless I was a combat-trained swimmer, and had experience with shooting at people/things underwater, I think I'd reserve judgement. I certainly wouldn't bet against that thing working as expected, and I'd love to have some of the carbine ammo for my collection. |

I have no doubt that it works as intended, I'm more wondering if they ever had a chance to put it to work. How often do combat divers encounter enemy combat divers under water? I figured if they suspected there were enemy frogmen nearby they would just throw some grenades in the water or something instead of sending guys to fight them like a scene from Octopussy. The pistol I can kind of see being handy but a big rifle like that seems almost like a solution looking for a problem. Kind of like the cannon they mounted on a space station. Very cool but pretty useless. Here's another picture of one of the pistols:  Attached File |
