Tube is not a lifting device.When it comes to lifting devices, the main gun on your M1-series tank should be very far down on the list--if it makes the list at all. And yet some crewmen continue to lift away. Using the main gun as a lifting device during normal operations Generally and collectively, the broad functions that a combatant commander undertakes when assigned responsibility for a given geographic or functional area. Except as otherwise qualified in certain unified command plan paragraphs that relate to particular commands, "normal operations" of is an expensive proposition. You'll end up damaging the shrouds, bore evacuator, elevation mechanism, gimbal pins, gun cradle, seals, rotor bearings, and head assembly. You could even bend the gun tube itself. Ouch! Sure, TM 9-2350-200-BD-2, Battlefield Damage Assessment and Repair for Tank, Combat, Full Tracked, M1, IPM (1) (Impressions Per Minute) Generally refers to document scanners that scan both sides of the page at the same time. Thus, a scanner that scans at 100 ppm (pages per minute) can provide 200 ipm. See ppm and document scanner. 1 and M1A1 (Feb 91), lists a task using the main gun to assist in the replacement of a cannon on a disabled tank. But as it states in the TM, "BDAR BDAR Battle Damage Assessment and Repair BDAR Battlefield Damage Assessment & Repair fixes shall be used only in combat or for training at the discretion of the commander." There just aren't many commanders who would routinely give permission for a task that is so expensive in terms of equipment. So you may want to think twice--or maybe even three or four times--before using the gun tube as a lifting device. Then don't do it!
