His body lubricated one of the Merkava's ("Chariot")tracks, of course.

After all, bullets cost money.

To answer seriously, based on my expeience as an a tanker who served as an infantry anti-tank platoon leader (the infantry divison I was assigned to was over strength on tankers and under strength on infantry officers - go figure)who was also responsible for tank killer team training for my battalion, that's about all they can do, short of the commander or loader popping out his hatch and emptying his Uzi into this guy.

He's so close that neither the main gun nor coaxial machine gun can depress low enough to get him. This guy should never have gotten so close alive. If he was armed with a satchel charge, things could get "interesting" really quick. The picture also illustrates why tankers hate fighting in built up areas, tank kiler teams can just spring up out of the rubble.

Which brings up the question of where the infantry rifle squad that is supposed to accompany this tank is. The tank kills machine guns that hold up the infantry while the grunts take out the tank killer teams. It's called "the combined arms team" and it works.

Well if there was nothing behind that guy that you didn't want to damage and the support troopies were busy brewing up some tea somewhere, I'd go ahead and fire the main 120. The round wound miss him but the muzzle blast would take him out.

Gentlemen, you are not thinking laterally enough –how about the tank crew hit the smoke dischargers. Matey boy will be left choking, one of the crew (wearing a respirator – dunno if the Izzies carry NBC kit) then de-buses & finishes him off with a hatchet that just happens to be to hand on his belt order

& there is a little more on that particular topic here

Photoshop?

He jams the stone he is carrying into the muzzle, which disarms it as the crew is then fearful of backblast. His mates insert some railway line into the running gear and then clamber aboard with a jerry can of unleaded and a Ronson. And then because the tank was too far forward without grunts it is toast.

Get the cameraman to clock him with a handy stone!

Hmmm, the experience of the US Army in Baghdad (see the excellent book "Thunder Run") is rewriting the whole "Treadheads hate urban warfare" paradigm.

Photoshop?

Telephoto lens I'd guess. The Pal won't be as close to the tank as he looks, the cameraman certainly won't want to get any closer than he has to.

Um, accelerator pedal? That is your weapon at that range.

Flat as pita bread.
