M1 Abrams Weight
M1 Abrams weighs 60 tons. The M1A1, on the other hand, weighs 63 tons, while the M1A2 weighs 72 tons. Even the tank’s gun barrel (Rheinmetall’s L/44 tank gun) weighs 2,620 lb, and the gun mount weights 7,313 lb. We will put the weight in perspective, 60 tons is roughly equivalent to 9 elephants, or 3/4 of a space shuttle. That is huge! Do not let one of these things run over your foot.
