![]() It's supposed to be Hummer competition, this "Bad Boy Truck" -- if you want to play the vehicle size inflation game. Quote:

I agree, I don't want one either....well maybe that one time I had a hummer 2 think that I would get out of his way because he was bigger than my Jeep even though I had right of way .. I ignored him, he almost lost it off the road trying to not hit me then flipped the bird and ranted and raved for a while, kept putting on his blinker like I was going to pull over and "discuss" it with him ... that would have resulted in a discussion with my tire iron and if worse came to worse, my S&W 40 cal. ... so I continued to ignore him which pissed him off worse (good!)

Hey, welcome to the Cellar, Krackel.
![]() They're way out of Hummer territory, they're competing with the Navistar XT Family. We had discussed that one at length in LJ's forum, but that's kaput. Also the Grandad in this class the Mercedes-Benz Unimog in it's military iterations. ![]()

Does that mean it can withstand the new 50 caliber weapon; to be sold at your nearby wal-mart soon. I saw an exibition of this gun. It took this guy two shots at a thousand yards to shoot through a target which consisted of 2 inch steel. Bullet went right through the steel. He had never shot the gun previously. I'm not against a citizens rights to arms, but I do think this gun is taking it a little to far.... Unless you need to shoot a Humvee at a thousand yards. However, if it can withstand nuclear attacks; I'm really asking a dumb question.... Better get to work......North Korea, Iran, Syria. Just to name a few. Main concern of the government is the ability of terrorist to shoot down Jets taking off or landing at your local airport. I'm not sure of the company but you can legally purchace one of these weapons in the u.s today. ![]()

Regardless of the company, it's very difficult to regulate civvie to civvie sales of legal firearms, much less illegal sales.

Most vehicles can (as long as the nuke isn't a direct hit, of course).
The occupants may not be so lucky.

The reason it's touted as NBC safe is because the military version of this vehicle is specifically outfitted for NBC usage. It runs at positive pressure, etc.
I highly doubt it would tear up streets anymore than a tow-truck would. |

I presume that it has hardened electronics, then? Wouldn't matter if it was intact after a blast if EMP wiped out all the electrical devices.

I want one, but only if it comes with anti-personnel stuff on it. Like high voltage, tear gas ducts, and slits to shoot out of.
And I want neons.
