or have it on the gun for the left thumb to slap it around

Wow, I bet they've never thought of that! Wow, these teams of weapon design engineers are morons and should all be fired and replaced by you. With your innovative skills, you will be the CEO in no time.

that would probably add another point of failure to contend with.

@@Skidracer21 "that would probably add another point of failure to contend with." Having to take you hand off the trigger is already a point of failure. If there is a hand switch, it can easily be made into a foot switch.

it would add more weight because you would need another battery plus all the equipment

Indeed

Just like road rage incidents. Never know who/what you’re dealing with.

“WHAT traffic?”

Or taking the kids to soccer practice.

The anti-high beam turret 😂

And protection for the exposed gunner.

​@geekwithabs who needs protection when you got a gatling gun. Also who's to say that there isn't a foot pedal for the movement of the turret. It makes sense not to show it and to give the illusion that it is slow and poorly built and designed.

Ballistic protection from the rear as well, OR, a RWS.

@@Watch_disciplethis is a demo video to get .gov contracts, making people think it’s poorly built is a problem. And you absolutely need ballistic protection, because if you’re in the situation where you need to deploy a heavy machinegun from the top of the vehicle, you’ve entered a well thought out ambush. First thing attackers would identify would be the Yukons with the giant round hatch on top, plus they would most likely have weapons above, especially in an urban environment. A minimum can put plenty of rounds in front of the barrel but is useless behind the gunner. Plus if he has to take his hands off the gun to address a rearward threat, a little ballistic protection would go a long way.

​@@Watch_disciple I've read some dumb comments in my life. But boy, this one stands out among them.

Underrated 😂

You mean chiraq?

Deserves more likes.

🤣🤣🤣

And in commiefornia

Ever been up in a US military turret?

It'd be even worse with trumps female SS team DEI hires. They wouldn't even get the flap open.

and if the vehicle rocks to one side and you hit that?

@@user-mn8lz7gf6d Hit what? The ground?

@@user-mn8lz7gf6dmaybe foot controls

I'm assuming it has to have a manual detachment setting. I think that's what that 1 and 2 setting was that you see in the vehicle. When I was deployed, we had the automated turrets that rotated with the button, or you could turn that off and rotate the turret with a hand crank or sheer force.

@@user-mn8lz7gf6d There is some travel in that mount, porviding you with ample dead-space for the travel. Just add a limit switch to both sides of travel and the gun goes wherever you are aiming, all the while avoiding an osciallating feedback loop.

I just wish they made the 2019 Declasse Granger an umarked cop car.

Anything is the civilian edition if there's no paperwork involved

This is the civilian edition.

Realistically it gets hit with RPG/ATGM/drone/IED, gets immobilized and then it's irrelevant whether the turret is manned or not. I honestly don't see a use case for such a vehicle. Like, if your potential ambushers only have small arms, a dude with a rifle/machine gun sticking out of the hole in the roof will be just as effective, if not more.

​​@@ForOne814 how on earth do you conclude that a crew served weapon will have inferior capability to a rifle, which is essentially a personal defense weapon? You're also misunderstanding the point of this - this isn't to fight in an insurgency much less combined arms multi-domain full spectrum combat operations; it's for counter assault teams, *like it was shown*

@@ArizonaAstraLLC not capability - practical effectiveness. Well, yeah, so the minigun offers no practical advantages for that role. Just like I said. It's overkill against meat targets, while also being more clunky and more difficult to use quickly, and it's not enough to deal with something like a properly made vehicular IED. Not like it's a problem, since you can ram one of the security vehicles into it to stop it. Like, if I'm not seeing something, please tell me.

Are you seriously trying to say that a weapon that can fire the entire magazine capacity of your rifle in a second is " practically as effective" as the rifle itself? That makes no fucking sense. The purpose of this vehicle is to rapidly disassemble both human beings and vehicles that are attempting to ambush your convoy. One man with a rifle isn't going to do jack shit against a group of bulletproof SUVs or their armored and professional occupants, there is no way that you're genuinely trying to say that a variant of this vehicle with only a hatch for a man and rifle is equally or more effective than one with a minigun. The entire purpose of this vehicle is to suppress with such ferocity that the VIP under your charge is given a window to escape in case of an ambush @@ForOne814

Ya I know, add decent sensors to a crows mount and the thing might be useful against drones. I don’t see too many insurgents rushing a motorcade with AK’s anymore not after how Ukraine has shown the versatility of drone systems. It’s a new threat environment boys and girls.

I speculate that its faster to operate it manually. Secondly, it won't be only gun laying down fire.

In war and shooting situations this turret and car isnt meant to be protected fully head on this is covertly armed meaning its role and purpose isnt to fully survive everything its a way of covertly still giving a important protected person an edge untill the cavelery arrives if the opponent isnt neutralised. Also yes they seem vunrable but so is an mwrap still the point is if you are fighting such a target that has a mini gun AND is mobile its hard to hit even standing still fights arent fought al the time at point blank range and the minigun has the most possibility to hit first since its shoots like 2000 or 3000 bullets a minute or so. So u only see it in movies someone being hit easy in real shoot outs and just without a shoot out shooting is an whole art and there are many factors wich can cause the bullet to miss breathing, moving, surpression, wind and rain or fog even and not to forget training and distance so to say someone in that car would get instantly hit is a hollywood movie in real life people tend to survive shootouts more and things like wounds occur much faster then death so basically if you got like 8 cars or 5 cars like this going in action or even 2 there is a far likelyhood at least 1 to more will survive just by mere possibilities and chances people gave survived worse odds so i also would say there is a lot of luck involved for someone aiming and hitting someone in the car you have to mind due to the distance and camera angle the man looks to be a big target but put him away 200 meters and his upperbody suddenly is nearly impossible to hit unless u are an exeptional marksman wich lot will claim but very few on average would be able to do... so is it impossible no.. but would it happen like u imagine in you head no it would take a lot of fights before a few or someone wàs unlucky enough to catch it on the right exact spot again this only happens in hollywood movies there are snipers able to do it but like lot of them are on skill level only few statistically worldwide go to kill like 5 guys with an exact shot within 1 or so minute so are very few capable to do In such situations.

@@skillsphere9245 that was a long sentence

This is not movie or game. Any bullet kills, not just reduce you hp by 1/5. When that thing start to sound the only thing you are thinking is run for cover and not that classic pop up and aim for the shooter's head.

@@studentchen87 indeed. It's meant to overwhelm any adversary in the shortest amount of time. It would take a lot of time to locate a threat and bring arms to bear using cameras. Humans are still faster in this asymmetric environment. Also, as I said, this won't be the only gun returning fire.

Yes. We have barrels and containers we put them in. (Rich from Dillon Aero)

God damn brass goblins

I think such considerations are secondary to putting out enough suppressing fire to deter or stop enemy attacks on the dignitary’s vehicle.

​@@maxwellheadroom8335he was joking

Because the white house has a lot of money 😂

If that thing has to pop out and lay down fire, chances are the car already has more damage than paint scratches on the roof 😂

Ain't gonna be worth crap if the girls from trumps SS team are left to run it.

Fucking arma 2 dayZ lol

The base vehicles are GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Suburban. Others available on request.

@@Dillonaero Which model/chassis years? I can imagine someone having a Escalade V one on special request

@@Dillonaero What about a Miata

Will it work on my Civic? @@Dillonaero
