This looks like the Jeep replacement the military should have had 30 years ago.
Not that the Humvee wasn't capable. Just always seems to have been over sized and expensive for the task at hand.
In any case....I want one. Civilian models???

You can get one from the army base, if you take one home, one piece at a time.

It looks like a 4-wheeled “mule” ...

...and is claimed to be "relatively comfortable" for what it is... If that was spoken by a pampered automobile critic from Detroit, that'd be one thing, but if it was an iron-butt Tech Sergeant who spends his off hours roller-blading through the Hindu Kush with a full battle pack, quite another. I still want one.

Hopefully those transverse hoop structures can be raised up after unloading the vehicle. Gotta have a roll cage on something like this for sure.

Well, that IS pretty awesome.
I think the twin 23mm anti-aircraft guns are a nice touch.

My SIL works for Rolls Royce who makes the V-22 engines.
Last summer they had several on display at an open house event and then did the flyover for the Nascar race.
That airplane is a friggin’ mechanical nightmare.
God protect anybody who flies on one.

Exactly. The Hummer is nice out in the wide open desert but around here would need a D8 to trailblaze.

I talked to the clerk at wallyworld this afternoon.
He said they got some in but it was already gone.
I’d reload my own but the brass is sooooo expensive...
and black powder tends to clog the gas system.

That’s one of the reasons I like revolvers so much. I haven’t had to buy brass in years.
