#1 That main gun looks like a big-a$$ cork gun. I'll bet it takes forever to pump it up.

#2 What was the point? To showcase how pathetic Hamas is?

#3 It made sense to build it while they were smoking some bad ass hashish.

#6 As many of the the previously used components may suggest, one of the many features of the (new?) Hamas inspired and produced MSS_ST-1, is that it is also deployable as a "mobile" septic system.

Built on a recently smuggled acquired 1971 Toyota mainframe, the final system testing has been temporarily suspended pending the location of an actual "working" toilet suitable for loading the ammunition chamber and other offensive Palestinian functions.

Equipt with an insulated 4" pvc septic pipe main gun barrel, the MSS_ST-1 should provide a "shit load" of firepower.

In addition to rendering it invisible to radar, the stealthy pilfered plywood and styrofoam exterior provides adequate buoyancy to give the MSS_ST-1 rare landing craft capabilities.

But due to Israeli restrictions on Mediterranean sea access, landing craft capabilities testing has also been delayed until the perpetually flooding and overflowing Palestinian sanitation reservoir recedes sufficiently for even a landing craft to approach or navigate the Turd Farm Bog Hole test area.
But unless overloaded with Hamas make-shift rockets it should test out reasonably well.

All in all, Palestinian make-shift ingenuity and stealth (in Palestinian stealth = stolen) technology should make the MSS_ST-1 (Mobile Septic System Shit Tank-1) a welcome addition to the Palestinian fleet.

#11 Perhaps a training and/or diversion simulator?

Ship, you know better than to post ideas like that in a public forum! The Abrams is going to need to exploit these weaknesses in order to win if these two tanks ever go to battle against each other!

#15 Heh, the Kia Seaman car is about appropriate.

The golf club bag rack (rear) essentially doubles its mission profile. The addition of the front tether coupler increases its survivability on windy days and can also be utilized as an anchor for flash poo floods.
