When it erupted from a thorn thicket, the tanks wheeled into something resembling the old wild West wagon-train circle-but there the similarity ended. Loaded with heavy canister (finned, inch-long small shot), the tank guns blazed away point-blank at the jungle, mowing the brush to stubble as if a huge rotary mower had cut a 40-yd. swath on each side of the road.
