That is all those two vehicles do is take a blast better. MATV owns house when it comes to rough terrain which is the war we are fighting now in Afghanistan.
As for taking a blast better, they might take an IED blast but it doesnt really matter anymore because what they are using now is EFP, and we have yet to develop armor that can defeat it.
I would put the JERRV first, Couger, MAXXPRO and the RG31/33 last. I fucking hate the RG's they are pieces of shit. I own about 70 of them right now and if they would let me I
would burn them to the ground and walk to Kuwait.

Only thing that suck about the MAXXPRO is that they are top heavy and VERY heavy which creates a roll hazard and the fucking doors are WAY OVER ENGINEERED. It is fucking ridiculous how over engineered they are.

they are all top heavy, do you guys have the new kits on the cougars, they make it was more cofortable to ride in. and yea the efp are nasty little buggers

that would suck if you looked in the sky and saw that huge missile flying towards you.

Yea the cougars are a lot more comfy. I don't like that the seats face in though!

The new RG33 wrecker is pretty dope.

M1A2, my favorite!!! Go Renno!!

yeah i hadnt seen the wreckers, those look pretty cool, either one i rode in i want the crow system, those are pretty badass...

ok so there we were rolling into a base in Kabul, and we look at a humvee parked and its a spec for vehicle, this had a vulcan mounted as its main weapon with a mk19 as a secondary and a 240 mounted to the back end for another gunner, it was sick looking..

Vulcan is mostly used for ADA. That is a big gun to mount on a HMMWV. It is a 20 or 30mm Cartridge. They use the Vulcan cannon in the PHALANX CIWS system which is to take down mortars and IRAM's. Counter IDF. These are 6 barrel guns. The A-10 uses a 7 barrel 30MM gun. The old rumors about the gun on the front of the A10 able to stall the plane are pretty much BS. If you take the plane A-10 in combat config at 40,000 pounds moving at 350 knots, there is not a lot a 3/4 lb bullet moving at 2000 feet per second is going to do. It might slow the plane down a couple knots but stall it NO. But you take that gun and put it on the top of a HMMWV which is about 8000 lbs, you get my point.
This is the gun or one similar that was on that HMMWV. It shoots 7.62mm Cartridge.
M-134D Gatling Gun System

I guess 1st class was sold out.



Aircrew recovery, that sucks. We do that too, there is an emergency harness built into the survival vest with a clip designed for that situation, if you have to do that its usually a shitty day
