When I said "sweet, sweet tank porn" in the other thread, I wasn't trying to be serious... Japan proves me wrong again.

The product description should read:

"This dakimakura is perfect for the otaku terrorist/military man who wants to start their day with a bang."

I could imagine the look on a custom's agent who randomly opens a imported shipment with this in it...

I want one too...

And only $31. That's not totally insane, just mostly.

I wonder if there's a market at gun shows here in US. ( $$$ )

If I put it in the back window of my car, would the cops stop me?

This is a case of "It's so insane, I have to have it." But I just put in my quarterly anime order, so, I am saved because the budget is empty. Sad

Oh, you Japan.

in the spirit of Girls und Panzer...

Sorry, that is not an armor-piercing shell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5_cm_KwK_37

Actually if we go by the story I think for shenshado they have specific tournament-regulated rounds.

Actually, yes it is. If you look at the same article, this specific form of artillery came in a "PZgr" version, as is marked on the bottom of the pillow.

The same article you linked includes the "PzGr" as the armor piercing cap used on this ammunition.

I was just about to go order this, but then I noticed that it was exclusive to that doujin event.

Hmm, that's a hugging pillow i'd actually buy. Despite realizing how ridiculous it is.

Well silly me. I thought it was for a different caliber. My bad.
