"Blast bucket"? They need to work on the name. "War wagon" sounds much better to me! That was the nickname we gave my pick-up in high school.

well, it sure is ugly enough. Not that it matters in the slightest- except that there probably won't be a civilian version.

How well does this thing fit inside a C-5/C-17/C-130?

Think like a Marine, How well will it fit inside a CH-53?

Where's the .50? It ain't a combat patrol vehicle without a .50.

Here's a different angle:

It looks like the .50 goes on top but since it's a concept vehicle, they didn't install one.
