Wouldn’t even light tanks wipe these things off the map in short order? I don’t see any armor on them.

That idiot has no ear protection. I guess in the long run that’s not gonna matter is it?

Wouldn’t the recoil flip a Toyota pickup?

"a heavily stripped down Toyota Hilux 4x4 pickup"With a massive, unshielded idiot chip inside (not just the driver), easily capable of being overwhelmed or fried.

A sniper could easily take out the driver and the gunman.

Would the 4x4 need outriggers to stabilize the truck?

Supersonic LGB release so they don’t hear it coming. Wouldn’t want them to die all tensed up. It would make tough eating for the dogs.

1) Where do these scuzballs get such advanced weaponry?
2) How well would one of these hold up against an A-10 if they played a game of "My cannon is bigger than your cannon"?

20x102mm ammo weights in at about 700 POUNDS/1,000 rounds.
The Vulcan fires them off at ~6,000 minute.
Most of the weight appears to be well above the bed of the truck.
Might be some handling issues for the crew?

I have seen Dishka (50 cal) “technicals” and a few others and they are totally useless except for pumping large numbers of rounds downrange and “praying” you hit someone.
The first and second rounds might go close to where you are aiming, but then the vehicle starts to tilt back. That slight deviation sends the rounds way into the sky and well over the heads of the people you are aiming at. However, they are usually as untrained as the technical crew and they bury themselves into the ground.
US troops normally understand this, and return fire in an aimed and expeditious manner at the “technical”. This is why technicals are not used that much against US troops. At least not more than once by that particular crew.
