It's a Firefly Sherman. That means a 17pdr Armour Piercing Discarding
Sabot, not the standard puny 75mm popgun. At least as good as the 85mm
on a late model T-34, or the 90mm on an early M-48. Under 500m, can take
out most 50-60s era tanks, (eg T-62,T-55,M48A1,M46 etc)

A bit like the E40K LR vs the SM2 one...

Yes, and quite widely available through many net stores.

If you want to replace them at any time with any other models, please
keep me in mind, I can always use more!

Agh, this is the space-marine not sfconsim list... sorry for
offtopicness.
