"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

Sweet. It's got a cassette player.

[visualops]

I prefer this one, with the convenient plow.

[Humidston]

Oh man, what we couldn't do with that baby whenever we freep the leftists!!

[LibKill]

If I had the $$$$ I'd buy it and replace that wimpy water cannon with a combo .50cal/20mm.

[cavtrooper21]

Another fine addition to the WDF motor pool. What do you think??

[Phsstpok]

This will go fine for crowd control when we dock our surplus aircraft carrier (thread from about a week ago)

NFA'34 doesn't like 'non-sporting' weapons over 0.5" bore; 20mm would be 0.508, would it not?

On the other hand, I wonder what sort of power you could get from a large-bore compressed-gas weapon?

20MM GE Vulcan in a power mount with a muti-spectrum sighting unit.
Hunt 'em down day OR night, rain or shine....

I think something more like a 7.62mm Vulcan is available in a modified
GMC Suburban.
I saw a little test run with one on TV; very popular with Middle Eastern potentates.

[HighWheeler]

It's stolen and being fenced on eBay.

According to my humble metric/english conversion program a 20mm=.7874inches, or .79 caliber.

The combo I was thinking of was a 20mm Oerlikon flanked by an M2 .50 cal on each side, with remote control and FLIR for night work.

Call it a 'crowd pleaser'. :)

[Aarchaeus]

20mm = 0.79"

[supercat]

20mm = 0.79"

Duh... [bonk bonk bonk] You're right of course. My point stands that the NFA'34 doesn't like non-sporting weapons over 0.5", and 20mm is definitely above 0.5".

From the e-Bay auction:
Payment Instructions
The successful buyer will be positively security vetted by Mike India 5. A $2000 deposit is required by Paypal or wire transfer within 48 hours of auction close. Balance due

I hardly think MI-5 would security vett the buyer of a stolen vehicle.

[cavtrooper21]

That critter is big enough to absorb the recoil of the 20mm, so I'd opt for it. 20mm gives you the option of mixing your rounds, example: 1 HEDP,1 API,1 HEI and back to HEDP.
A little deversity is a good thing!!

I shooda used the < /sarcasm> tag

Reminds me of the time I was confused at a London currency exchange office when the exchange rate was $1.73, I gave the clerk $300, and was momentarily confused to receive back £173.

If only that guy in Florida had one of these he wouldn't be in jail right now facing murder or homicide charges. (he shot his neighbors part up for blasting music until 4AM).
