List,
Upon visiting one of my friends that's a tanker last month, he had some stories that included the "private toilet" that they use in the Bradley Main Battle Tank... Anyhow they tend to use empty gatorade bottles. Has a cap, won't spill, and tightly fits in various spots of the tank.
I think I'll stick to the red flavor of gatorade from now on.

Torsion bars removed that option.

Does't work now with the nato spec ammo that uses
a very shallow brass baseplate...

Yep...Good question. I'll have to ask my friend
that works on the strykers what they are looking
at...
