What if the BTR-80 had a 30mm Remote Weapons Station?
It's called a Kliver turret. And includes a 4-missile guided antitank missile launcher.

I want those E-field deflectors like the chick in Metal Gear 2 had - the bullets just fly away from you like water rolling off a duck's back. I want that, AND I WANT FLYING CARS RIGHT NOW.
Didn't a fellow freeper post something recently about a new fiber that is something like 200 times stronger than steel and has twice the hardness of diamond? I didn't bookmark it and just relying on my fuzzy memory here, BUT it seems to me that would have a lot of potential for a new lightweight armor.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Every kid knows the solution is "gobots"
Equipment that is modular and interchangable.
It should be possible to build "connector knobs" on all equipment that interfaces with other "connector knobs".
Then different types of lightweight and heavier armor, or no armor can be quickly attached to the bottom, sides or top on any piece of equipment.
It doesn't just have to be "armor". Water tanks, fuel tanks, ammunition, and all other types of supplies and small equipment should have "connector knobs" so it can be attached to any other "connector knob".
Yes our previously lightweight equipment is getting heavier. However, these vehicles are still much lighter than an Abrams tank.
Our military is getting lighter and more mobile in general. These smaller and lighter vehicles are taking on roles that they couldn't take on before.
Since the IEDs are triggered by cell phone calls, wouldn't it be fun if the cell towers automatically called every cell phone as soon as it was turned on? Might blow up a few IED placers until they caught on.
Ping! What say you, Proud Legions?

That's the fantasy. The reality might turn out quite differently.
Indeed.
