Does 'don't look down the fucking barrel' count for manlet tanks?

Its very easy to verify if a shell is loaded thanks to the lack of spring loaded magazines, so its most likely not negligent to do so.

Also, you can look in that barrel at an angle and see the breech without putting you head in harm's way.
