And yet most sheriffs departments have them! Does that one have an RPG type net on the side? You know what we had in Iraq and Afghanistan, the weird wire that was intended to detonate RPGs before hitting the hull... or so that’s what I thought they did.

You know what we had in Iraq and Afghanistan, the weird wire that was intended to detonate RPGs before hitting the hull... or so that’s what I thought they did.That looks to me like a vertical sheet of expanded metal. At the base, it looks like a flip down platform. My thinking is that is for a SWAT team to ride on the outside of the vehicle for rapid deployment. The expanded metal sheet is there to keep the "shooters" from falling into the tires and becoming mush. I could be wrong, though.
Well, one thing for sure is this ^^^^^ along with no knock 3 am raids on incorrect homes isn’t helping their public relations any......If they want to have weapons of war then I say let the state patrol have them using them in limited capacity. To me that would be a great trade off as you have double oversight of its use. Make the small town sheriff or county sheriffs plead their case. Most small towns do not need this equipment on a normal basis, more than one way to skin a cat as far as real police work.
What's wrong Shawn, afraid your Jeep won't outrun a pig like an mrap? Why are we worried about a defensive vehicle like an mrap? It's not an Abrams. Doesn't bother me one bit.I think the fact that they can carry full autos, and we for the most part can't, is more worry some. ..and that doesn't bother me either.
I think that brings into play the need for civilians to provide a check to government power. We may need to up our weapons capabilities as a counterbalance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not worried about full auto either. Many of those boys can’t hit broad side of a barn when they think lead is flying both ways
I've always wanted a tank, ever since the movie with James Garner in the '80s!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

I loved that M60A1/A3I could work on it, tune the engine. With the governor control removed they could easily hit 40 mphButmost importantlyI know all about how to fix the heaters!
Yeah but how does it handle at that speed??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
