Tank be like

There must be some kind of rule violation here right? There are tons of rules about only pointing your gun at people you are prepared to kill and acting as if guns are loaded at all times. Swinging a tank turret across the broad side of a civilian buss feels way worse.
- Not that I have any actual idea, but I recon any shell fired at that distance and that flimsy a target wouldn't even lite the fuse.
  Also this was recorded at the annual day of the Bundeswehr, basically a promotional event to get people to join the armed forces. Not sure if pointing you're 120mm barrel at their face does the job, but I was in the navy, so what do I know
  
  the tank shell probably wouldn't notice the buss but I would notice the shell when it goes trough me and 3 other passengers.
  
  I mean any shell even if it's fuse doesn't activate will still do significant damage, killing multiple people from at least the shrapnel. At that range the overpressure would also be pretty dangerous probably.
- If you show up to WW3 in a bus I feel like that's on you dawg
  
  c/fuck_cars arriving to ww3 be like
- It's pretty much impossible to move a tank anywhere without it pointing at something or someone. You can't exactly point the barrel straight up or down to the ground. I imagine it's probably a bit harder to accidentally fire a shell than the trigger mechanism of a firearm.
  
  Just wait until the barrel goes flaccid before swinging it around
- Let's just say that sometimes that rule is violated when exercising in the public space. I have seen that multiple times and talked to some soldiers that confirmed that civilians sometimes unknowingly are part of an exercise, although you would never fire on them.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't tell what's going on here. Is that a bullet hole in the glass?
It sounds like a forklift?
😅
Edit: after watching it again at full brightness I see it's a tank driving along side and the turret turns at the last second to aim directly at the camera.
- The hell is your monitor at? 5% brightness? lol

  My phone is, yeah. My girlfriend is asleep next to me.
  
  He thinks he's still on Imgur.

Deutsche Bahn is trains, not buses.
- Deutsche Bahn is the largest provider of bus transport in Germany
  But like, also, who cares?
  
  I've never seen a single DB bus in all my life living in Germany. Buses are typically provided by the city's municipal company (Stadtwerke). Maybe DB has a fleet somewhere and as a single unified entity is the "largest" single provider, but that would come down to the fact of everyone else being split up.
- DB also has busses, or at least they have bus companies working for them under their name.
- Deutsche Bahn is city-ferries in Copenhagen.
- I was just reading an article on DB ordering 1200 electric buses, but maybe those are for personal use.
- I mean it literally means "german railway"

Oh you thought you would be punished.. No everyone will be punished for your misdeed!
