The white stripes on tank barrels are called "Kill rings." They were first used by the German Army during World War Two to signify the number of enemy vehicles destroyed. Traditionally, each destroyed vehicle got one strip, and ten vehicles got a large stripe.

This tradition was also displayed in the Novel "Team Yankee" by Harold Coyle.

Special thanks to Shava for sending this to me. If you find and pictures or videos of tanks with kill rings, please send them to me.
