第一次海湾战争期间M1系列曾经被多次友军误伤,最惨的是B-66车,在1991年2月27号早上,因为交战中他的行进方向是和连队中其他M1的行进方向相反,被友军误认为是T-72惨遭集火,三枚DU穿甲弹直接命中车体,第一枚打在了炮塔连接处,挂掉了炮手,甩飞了车长;第二枚击中车辆正面,此时驾驶员已经被柴油喷了一脸,然后引燃染料烧伤了装填手和驾驶员,随后海龙灭火器启动致盲了驾驶员。幸存成员撤离车辆后,车辆爆炸。不过只有炮手挂了,其他人都活了下来。关于第三枚DU穿甲弹击中了哪里没写。不过主装甲并没有被击穿

C. Battle of Norfolk (Early Morning, February 27, 1991)
B Company, 3-66 Armor, Abrams (Bumper # B-66): This was the Bravo Company commander's tank. Three 120mm DU rounds hit B-66 -- one striking just below the turret, killing the gunner.[363] None of these rounds penetrated the DU armor panels. When B-66 was hit, it was moving in a different direction than the rest of the company,[364] which may have contributed to its misidentification. The impact of the first round threw the commander from the vehicle, inflicting fragment wounds to his legs.[365] The loader was attempting to remove the injured gunner from the vehicle when the second round hit, burning both the loader and the driver.[366] The driver, covered with diesel fuel from the ruptured fuel tank, was still in the vehicle when the halon bottles (containing fire-extinguishing gas) discharged. Burned and partially blinded, he ran from the vehicle and was picked up by B-23. B-66 started burning and later exploded.[367]
