GEN George S. Patton Jr., son of the Famous GEN George S. Patton Jr. of WWII fame, was in command of (although a COL at the time) of the famous "Black Horse" 11ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment) in the Vietnam War. The Armored Cavalry Squadrons in Vietnam used the new Sheridan Tank (although officially, it was called the Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicle), which fired a 152mm gun (cannon). The gun was unique; no shell ejected from the breech after firing. The shell was caseless! This saved spent shell cases from jamming the inside of the turret during traversing. The only drawback of the Sheridan tank, was that it's hull was made of alumininum, and it's turret steel. When hit by an anti-tank rocket, or a serious land mine, the caseless ammo would go off. Sheridan crewmen were quick to abandon tanks, as the aluminum Sheridan hulls (same for APC also, they too are aluminum) melted.
