Put a dual .50 and a coaxial Mark 19 on it and you've got a real serious ride.

A Rambling Wreck, you might say.

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.

That name brings back many memories of the 50,s through the 80's when as an over-the-road 18 wheeler(and sometimes many wheels)driver as well as an oilfield hauler; drilling rigs, gas compressors, pumping units, tubular goods, you name it, after 38 years I very likely hauled everything in the oilfield at least a hundred times a piece.

But I digress from the original subject, "War Wagon" was my C.B. "handle"!

Now be honest doesn't that just make your day?

Goodbye!

Might hurt the gas milage.

Knowing Marines, C-130 Maybe, because of gross weight but, the others that is probably a cinch.

Just for ugliness alone there should be a civilian model; with much better gas milage after all the HEAVY armor is replaced with standard automotive tin-foil.
