To amend what I wrote: Open breech is vulnerable, closed breech is vulnerable with a round loaded, and a closed breech with no round means you just gave the tank a free shot. :)

I agree. Although, depending on type of grenade, I would say there was a pretty good chance the inside of the barrel would be damaged enough to make firing 105 rounds a bit dicey. Pitting of the rifling...perhaps a crack.
If the goal is to take over the prison because it is a secure location does it make sense to use a tank to blow the s*** out of the place and render it uninhabitable? Does it make sense to shoot at the walls instead of the enemy firing at you from behind light cover? A few well placed tank rounds could have almost completely eliminated resistance from the prison.
Why did the gov kill Hershel instead of Michonne since we know he HATES her?
