The South Africans and Rhodesians used chassis of dump trucks and build a steel basin on it with overhead armor, firing ports and windows. The heavy chasis and steel basin protected the driver/crew and passenger from landmines. RPG's could not stop them due to its immense size. The vehicles height gave the passengers a great view and line of sight for shooting down on their attackers. These things were called Rhino, Buffalo and other large animals, because they were large and ugly, but they got the job done. Time for DoD intel to dig up those vehicle blueprints from the defunct white Rhodesian and South African military.

IIRC, Dillon Precision has a movie called "Machinegun Magic," where they show fun with full auto weapons. It includes a truck mounted .223 minigun, as well as one of those 4xM2 mounts!
And the coolest part was the night shooting with tracers at RC airplanes! And how the barrels on the M2's turned cherry red.

The Quad .50 is cool, but replace those four M2 guns with four .50 mini guns and I would be REALLY impressed.
