Love at first sight but I'd have to buy ammo cause I'd have to load for a month to shoot this baby.

Re: WOW I'd love to have this!
Cool until you think about having to haul around a battery pack with AC converter to run it. This would still have to be vehicle mounted even if you could unship it and fire it handheld so long as it's power tether was long enough.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I'm thinking two mounted in the grille.......... 
Maybe two in the bed of the truck, with holes in the tailgate.....

100 bucks in 3 seconds.......I'll have to settle for enjoying the video. 
Re: WOW I'd love to have this!
That didn't seem legit. If it is in prototype stage that certainly is not a working model. Just wind, sound effects, and pyrotechnics. This one on the other hand is badass. It started autoplaying on YouTube so I can't take credit for finding it

Re: WOW I'd love to have this!
Several points were made in the comments section; If it's so badass, why did they have to CGI round strikes on the MRAP? Also, .50 BMG rounds weigh a lot and take up a lot of room. For what it is being used for, an M143 is sufficient. .50 isn't need for anti personnel and anti light vehicle use, 7.62 is fine, and you could carry a whole lot more for the weight and space. With the rate these things eat ammo, it would make more sense. On a helicopter, yes, that makes sense.

Re: RE: Re: WOW I'd love to have this!
I don't understand about the CGI strikes? I assume it is a promotional video for the product? I just was impressed by the video that I accidentally found (popped up on autoplay). Is that one not a working prototype either. I'm sure it is a waste of funds. That is what our government is all about.entropy wrote:Several points were made in the comments section; If it's so badass, why did they have to CGI round strikes on the MRAP?
