I have a Question,
Is it possible to blow up tanks with a M16?

I've got a co-worker who is ex-Army and he told me that there is a spot on American Tanks that if you can shoot it, you can destroy the tank with one shot.

He said that he ticked off his Commanding General by out shooting him and the final "test" of his rifleman skills was to hit a certain spot on a tank and blow it up.

Apparently the Gen. shot the tank on his 2nd shot and my co-worker shot it on his 3rd.

What I want to know is, is this really possible and where is the spot(he couldn't tell me. which lends me to believe that he was pulling my leg) or was he pulling my leg?

Thanks,
