To be fair, I'd like to see the evidence of this "kill", as the facts I currently have in front of me lean toward mostly blinding it, instead.

edit: as an ex-artillery commander friend of mine pointed out, why is the 25cal gun that fired those rounds missing from this photo?

Hmm...

Wasn't the story that the light gun set off the explosive armor attachments to blind it?

No, the tank's smoke grenades cooked off, that's all. The consistent fire chewed up the sensors on the exterior, for sure, but that's not a "catastrophic kill", the tanks just blind (which is a completely shit place to be, sure, but not a kill in and of itself).
