Ok Im not a Tread Head…LOL
What does AFV stand for?
Some possible theories of mine…
Armored Fighting Vehicle
American Fighting Vehicle
and I had another one I thought of but it slipped my short term memory.
Thanks for answering my dumb question…Well I think its dumb as everyone seems to know except me lol!
Chris,
You’re right on target (so to speak): Armored Fighting Vehicle

Man that was a dumb question!!! [;)] [:p] [:D]
Just kidding Chris. The only dumb question is one you don’t ask!!
You know I couldn’t let that go by without giving you some grief don’t you?? [:-,] [}:)] [:D]
Eric
You mean it doesn’t stand for Allegorically Fervent Vermin?
Man, I’ve been misled for so long…
its American Fighting Vehicle = AFV
Canadian Fighting Vehicle = CFV
British Fighting Vehicle = BFV [C=:-)][4:-)][oX)] thats what i thought?[%-)]
Don’t forget: THS = Tigers Hunting Shermans [:p]
Most of us that are crews on them call them Tracks as do most of our mechanics.
just a useless fact?
O-yeah and sometimes we call them other things, hehehe
Thanks for the replies guys…nice to know I wasnt to far off track(pun intended!) with what I thought it was…I do remember the 3rd one I thought of but forgot earlier this morning…Amphibious Fighting Vehicle…
I was pretty sure that was wrong though!
non no you mean Tiger Hunted by Shermans[;)][;)][;)][}:)][:D]
AFV= Armored fighting vehicle
CFV= Cavalry fighting vehicle, recon vehicles so right now that’s mainly the M-3 Bradley
BFV= Bradley Fighting vehicle, which I assume does not mean it fights other Bradleys, LOL
Hmmmm, I thought it stoood for Affectionate Female Velociraptor. Boy do I feel stupid. [:D]

You’re absolutely right Chris … dumb question [D)][D)] [:-^][:-^]
Boy , looks like Chris is turning into the Rodney Dangerfield of the forum with all the respect he gets around here anymore.[(-D]
Chris, around here AFV is more like:
Aviation Freaks Victimised
Just don’t ask what an APC is [:-^]
Nice to see you pop into the Darkside now and again…so when are you gonna build an armour project.[(-D]
roflmao [:D][:D][:D][bow][bow][bow]
Geesh guys!(lil kid voice!) Well MY PLANE CAN BLOW UP YOUR TANK! Im telling my mommy! ROFL…Ive got a tank already just ways off from starting it…I actually want something else than what I have for my first armor project…not sure what but I’ll know it when it jumps off the shelf at me!
I don’t think that was a dumb question. I hope you will build an armor model Chris.

Historyinscale,
I’m glad you have an armor kit picked out - we don’t need to see that “first tank” question again
Reminds me of an “old” British comedy called the blackadder, the first series took place in the middle ages:
King: “Edmund, will you fight with us on the morrow??”
Edmund (crowned prince): “Goodness, no. i thought i’d fight with the enemy”
and, while we’re on the subject of stupid questions related to acronyms: what does ROFL stand for? Rolling On Floor Laughing? I know what LOL and LMAO stads for… man, all of these acronyms… LOTR: ROTK, SW: TPM, SW: KOTOR, STNG, DS9, CIA, FBI! Jeez, can’t enyone type the whole word anymore? WTF?!? [:D][:D]
Blackadder was a good show. It had Rowan Atkinson in it, he’s super talented and funny.
