				Seems a bit open and unprotected, especially against roadside bombs. I wonder how useful this thing really is. 
And that beast fires at 340RPM :icon14:
I guess that means you can incinerate an area the size of a football field in something like 30 seconds.

				That's a MK19 40mm grenade launcher. I've fired one and my god are they fun as hell. Good luck hitting something a mile away with it though.

				Say what you want about us, but at least when we make a  " war machine " it has doors, windows and at least some sorta skin over it. That thing better launch from a mile away, any closer and they die.

				so you think a range kill using better technology than the enemy is a poor idea?

				a range kill in a half urban environment? Blow up anything besides the road from a mile away which looks like junk because it might be an ied?

Of course it's not. But what idiot would fight coalition troops from afar in the first place? The vast majority of casualties come from IED's and ambush type situations.

				I think anything near the field of battle that has no armor is a faulty. Just in 2003 Master Cpl. Arron Perry of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan nailed the longest recorded sniper shot, it was 1.5 miles. 
Now i know im not a career military vehicle designer, but if the max " recorded " sniper shot is 1.5 miles and your making a " war machine " that has no armor, no doors, not even windows and sheet metal covering the WIDE open spaces and has a max range of 1 mile .... a little flag goes off in my mind. But maybe im just crazy here.

				You're saying you'd feel safe riding around in that thing when there's a burried artillery round going off two meters next to you? lol.

Wrong.
Yes, name calling and not giving any reason for being right, one of the many bastions of the fool. Ahh the smell of a mask of self righteous, pompous, ignorance is almost intoxicating, like the smell of fresh steak. Let your ego suck someone elses blood. 
Shut me down if you got something to say. Im calling your bluff.

				Supose someone drives a car up to it. Click. BLAM!!!! They are all dead.
Or imagine them driving, down a road, singing songs, they drive beside, note beside not below a IED. Then some guy hiding behind a rock far, far way presses a button. Click. BLAM!! they are all dead.
This is a properly protected Canadian jeep.

You honestly feel protected in that thing if you went to fight ? Its a tonka truck ... no wait, tonka puts doors and roofs on their toys.
Come on.
