Pretty sure everything about the combination gun/launcher was hot garbage and the missile basically didn't work.

It was a nice concept of a light tank. But it was pretty poo poo ya.

It was absolutely awful. The power wasn't a problem, but it used caseless ammo that easily broke and scattered propellant all over the turret. The gun had to automatically settle into a loading position after every shot, which made it much slower to fire than a normal tank. And the aluminum armor (to make it air transportable) and caseless ammo/loose powder laying around the turret gave them a nasty tendency to explode if looked at funny.

The MGM-51 Shillelagh missile got lobbed out of the barrel of the M81E1 gun/launcher with a little powder charge. Sounds good but the missile wasn't designed to have any spin imparted on launch so it engaged a loving keyway cut into the the rifling grooves of the barrel tube to resist the spin from the rifling.



Since the barrel of the gun/launcher was built to accommodate a fat assed missile it had a huge bore of 152mm, way too big to propel any sort of kinetic energy penetrator at a useful speed without a giant charge, a giant charge that would blow up what is essentially an overbuilt potato gun.



Instead, the standard unguided HEAT M81E1 shells were giant low velocity shaped charges with non metallic, flammable shell cases that could catch on fire if placed in a hot barrel. The low velocity from the necessarily small propellant charge meant high travel time from gun to target, so they were rather difficult to aim.

Looks like at 0:04 they're too close to the float, then when it cuts to the shot they're further away.

Didn't it have a tendency to flip on its side if you fired the gun when the turret was perpendicular to the hull due to how light it was?

A B-1 buzzing directly over my position as the location marker at 100 feet AGL in full burn is by far the best flyby I've ever experienced, and even with ear plugs in and my hands on my ears, the physical shockwave of it was utterly insane. The guy next to me without ear pro collapsed. It was also very surreal tracking it on radar, then exiting the shelter and finding myself unable to see it, because the mirage effect on the desert floor was masking it visually when it was only a few km out.
