Kinda hard to fit an arm through the type 97 machinegun mounted there Tongue

It's not even field modification, their tanks came off the production line with these machineguns mounted in such a strange way. Tongue

Oh, wait. I meant 'Eagerly awaiting 25 December to exchange gifts with the love of my life and then wander around town eating street until my vision gets blurry and not think of Jesus even a little bit.'

Sorry if it came out wrong.

Quick question: If they're on the opposite side of the tank, are they called 'starboard holes'?

Seems pretty obvious why they'd do that.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
