Same song different dance. That happened a 2nd time. The 2nd time the guy started across the Rhine and stopped on the bridge and surrendered. He too have received a deer John letter from his wife and went and got drunk. Then he decided, while drunk that he was stuck in Germany because of the Russians. He figured that if he went and started a fight with the Russians that we would win and then he could go home and save his marriage. He went home on a medevac flight strapped down to a litter and sedated. Was eventually given a "section 8" discharge. At the times of both incidents all tanks in Germany had a combat load of ammo on board.
As far as the firing pins in the arms room: I could go to the arms room on any day scheduled for vehicle maintenance and get my tanks firing pin. Part of operations checks and services was a check of the firing circuit and you needed the firing pin to do them. Tank ammo is electrically fired. The firing pin dents the primer only to establish good contact.
For those who don't know a combat loaded M60 tipped the scales at 60 tons and the A3 model was a hefty 63 tons. The M1 is about 70 tons. They do a little bit of damage when they run over a car. That WILL NOT buff right out.
