Video Shows Syrian Anti-Aircraft Tank Firing Randomly Into Peoples’ Homes

Yep, ZSU-23-4 Shilka. This has 4 23mm automatic cannon. It fires either solid armor piercing shot or a small explosive shell. The latter has about the same effect as a hand grenade, but with the kinetic energy of its very high velocity added (1000 m/sec). Rate of fire for the whole mount is as high as 4,000 rounds per minute. There is also a highly effective incendiary round, usually mixed with HE at a 3/1 ratio.
