Well, seriously, just walking off the ramp of your CH-53 doesn't really convey the panache that today's paramilitary operator needs to project...whereas peeling out of the bird, then doing donuts in this thing wins hearts and minds.

And if that doesn't work, there's always the 249 up top...

just curious, with no armor, isn't that a rolling death trap?
I think it'd be a rolling death trap with armor, too...because then it'd probably go about 3 mph.

I just thought it was a funny rolling death trap. It's a bit macabre, but I can only imagine winging golf balls at the little picker-upper cart at a driving range when I see this...I mean, what guerrilla with an RPG is going to be able to resist giggling and shooting at this thing??

In any case, I hope it at least it allows a proper Weaver stance. I know how much RM loves the Weaver. And RT, golf does indeed suck.

You are obviously wasting your talents in your current position. You belong in a marketing department somewhere.

I surfed that site a little bit, and I realized the crap they sold wasn't real military ordinance, but stuff for the mall warrior...

Hows is it in Iraq or are you already back? The closest you'll ever get me to Iraq is Compton...though you ever visit you'll probably not find much difference.

In a way, he works for the US Govt's marketing dept... On the reach out and touch someone end. He's winning hearts and minds, afterall.
Who said I work for a government??

My employer remains unspoken on the board...

Paul, shoot me an email.
