If I say I would rather not start a fight why do you go and help someone start a fight? If you are mature enough that you can correct me for not knowing the difference to a tank and an APC are you really not capable of just reading a post and letting something be? I know you are smart as you have made a lot of great things with your programing skills but some times you don't show it rakiru.

I am not starting a fight. Sure, I may be coming across as rather annoyed, but that's because I already told you that it wasn't a tank, but you persisted to call it one. I don't mind people not knowing things, but if they refuse to learn, then I will force-feed them knowledge (usually along with insults).

If anything, you're starting a fight instead of just "letting something be".

I never denied you were right I only said I don't think every tank needs a cannon, aren't you the one who replied to me instead of "letting it be"? You are right and I accept that so why not "move on"?

What ever this is, stop fighting over a damn word! Tanks and APC doesn't differs from each other much, except for number of operators, firearms, crews, and one is a carrier and one is a combat... something. At least, they are all armoured.
Anyway, on topic, this explains why Jagex is having finacial problems. Because they brought a damn APC for nothing!

They are actually quite cheap. That tank they have is an FV432 APC as far as I can tell, in which case it cost them under 10K, lowest I have ever seen one sold at is £4,500.

Example of the FV432 APC:

Do you have to have anything legal wise to own an APC?

I don't think so, maybe some sort of vehicle or governmental license, but it shouldn't be much different from owning any sort of military surplus equipment, besides high-end explosives of course.

Hm... Maybe an old, unused FV432, ended up with Jagex's hand on it, removed critical equipment, repaint, and put at the front door.
In that case won't cost them much then. Maybe 2-5k€ at most.

To intimidate. They may ban you, but I doubt they'll use it against you.

Saying not all tanks need a cannon is saying I'm wrong, as I'm telling you tanks need cannons. However, fine, I will "move on" (not sure why you put that in quotation marks).
