A mecha would have a very hard time getting close enough to make hand-to-hand
relevant. A M1A1s turret can do a 360 and stop on a dime from a dead start
in 1 second. Its not the most comfortable thing to do for the crew inside
but it does allow them a tremendous advantage when in comes to the firing
arc.

Well, the driver ought to be fine...assuming the turret crew doesnt
collectively puke all over him, that is... (hmm, imagine them spinning around
like that at full speed with the governor removed) But yeah, if a mecha/PA
tries advancing on an Abrams, it better have some good stealth technology built
in (including nice padded shoes so it doesnt make big stompy sounds when it
walks). The only current ballistic weapon thats supposed to be able to punch
through an Abrams is the same type of round thats fired by an Abrams (something
to do with the fact that theyre clad in depleted uranium armor), according to
Howstuffworks.com.
