Systems like the M551 Sheridan are either a 'light tank' or a TD if employed as such as the gun itself can't challenge a tank, but the missile could (although not well) and it didn't have the armour for a stand up fight.
FYI, the 120mm gun on the M1A1 and A2 fires HEATMP-T which, while primarily an anti armour round, has a fragmentation sleeve which makes it a dual purpose round which is quite effective against infantry.
M1A1 has 40 rounds of 120mm, while the M1A2 somehow increases this to 42 rounds.

In one instance an M1A1 took a direct hit to the ammunition storage area, all of the rounds inside were detonated, however the crew survived and carried on with their mission.
The motor and transmission on the M1A1 performed so well in Iraq on the very long drives through difficult terrain that the US Tank Automotive and Armaments Command are not planning any further work on trying to extend the transmission hours as they do not need it.
The M1A1 is about 5 tons lighter than the M1A2 thus meaning it's going to be more mobile, and have longer endurance given that they both use the same engine with the same power output.

The M1A1 AIM was the only assessed tank with all its 120mm ammunition in an explosion-proof compartment separated from the rest of the tank's interior.
The M1A1 AIM is a quantum leap over the Leopard AS1 but it is important to realise the Block 0 M1 was in its trials and final development at the same time the Leopard AS1 was delivered.
While the M1A1 AIM is classed as a third generation tank, over the Leopard AS1's second generation, the threats of today demand the next generation.

 Airsoft Retreat
It is a monument to a bygone era of quality craftsmanship, and to the balance between great function and beautiful form...it was the last of it’s kind in the world of submachine guns, it’s final years being the advent of the made-for-production-efficiency guns like the Sten and the M3 “Grease Gun”.
The Thompson was a popular gun and it was frequently favored over the weapons it replaced...and sometimes those that it was replaced by, such as the M3 “Grease Gun” which started to take the place of the Thompson as America’s submachine gun of choice in the mid to late war years.
The M1A1 is also the loudest and most real sounding of the AEGs I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with: it’s the only AEG (when fired by another user at a game - fairly close to my head) that caused some form of ear “discomfort”.

 M1A1 AIM Review by Cookie Sewell (DML 1/35)
There are a number of M1A1 kits on the market, and over the years there has been a large and vociferous following as to who makes the best.
This kit is as close to "one stop shopping" for an M1A1 as you will get, and for the hard-core detail fans only needs the addition of an engine and some more interior bits.
Overall this is a most impressive kit, and quite useful as it permits any one of the current M1A1 tanks on active duty to be modeled.
