Which would win M1 Abrams vs M109 Howitzer?
Ridiculous question. The M1 Abrams as a battlefield tank, is faster, more agile, and more accurate than a M109 howitzer. Both weapon systems have very different missions, and while the delivery system of the Abrams is exceptional, which would give it a head to head advantage, it does not fire the same ordinances as the M109, which has potentially far greater destructive power over greater distances.
