| Presidential Gatling Gun-Equipped Suburban |

| Oh, yeah, there's video... Barack Obama's getting a Cadillac-styled new Presidential Limo tomorrow. While nice, we're more interested in the Gatling gun-equipped Suburban that follows Cadillac One. Here's video of the bullet-spraying Chevy in action. Is your job tough? Like, leader of the free world tough? Do you have people constantly throwing shoes at you? It's time you replied with a measured, appropriate response -- and that response is a Dillon Aero machine gun turret mounted on top of a Chevy Suburban -- just like the one the President's got! So...ya wanna hack into my Blackberry, do ya? We've already shown you Obama's new Presidential limo, below, now here's the big gun watching its back. |

| #10 It is a toy, IMHO. Think of the threat. A bunch of fellows shooting RPGs or missiles with shape charge warheads in a swarm would be a hard one to have countermeasures made for. It could be done, but not on a Chevy. |

| #9 I don't know anything about this stuff but is this more of a cool toy than a tool? |

| #8 Unless used as a crowd control measure, Rounds Per Minute is not necessarily an accurage gauge of effectiveness or deterrent. I doubt that weapon will be welcomed anywhere overseas. Just my guess. |

| #7 yes, it would make a mess. could it be more of a message that says "dont f with us?" because curse the day that thing was actually used. it would be like Rambo with the fifty cal that was just cutting people down, but not before cutting them in half wouldnt it? hell why not carry some RPGs in there too? its overkill factor is its beauty and beastliness all rolled into one. |

| #6 My response was the same as remoteman's. I laughed to see someone do that to a Suburban, but it isn't really all that practical. A smaller remote turret like the ones they're fielding in Iraq seems much more reasonable. Not to mention I have to wonder what kind of mess that'll make of the inevitable crowd of on-lookers. Talk about spray-and-pray... |

| #5 I saw that on aLobotomy Box Show a few months back. Can't remember which one. I don't recall it actually being considered for use, though. |

| #4 damn and we only had saw gunners on our live fire convoys exercises in the army, which was cool. but that my friend, (nervous laughter) that is ridiculously cool. |

| #3 I'm more than a bit surprised that they don't have a remote weapon station doing the job. The man-operated Dillon is nothing but a supression weapon. That said, I suppose that is the intent...keep their heads down (or off should they be hit) while they hightail it outta there. Fun stuff regardless. |

| #2 Does that thing have a laser on it? Christ, why would you need one? |

| #1 Pardon my French but DAMN!. Isn't that thing a little bit of an overkill? That thing will kill quite a few "peasants" on the sidelines won't it Obama, while trying to take out one assassin... |
