Thanks rob!
You guys ever been near a Phalanx (CIWS) gun system of Sea-Whiz when she fires?? I did a brief tour on a destroyer and they test fired one. 7000 rounds per minute of depleted uranium bullets. Thing was sick! I'm sure grippy gets to play with them all the time too!
Here's a vid I found...pretty cool night shots of the wall of bullets it uses to knock down targets.

That is awesome design too...how the sunroof opens up and protects the gunner..probably bullet proof.
I'm sure shooting back at those spinning barrels of death isn't the first thing on their minds though!

I don't need to see the video to know what these are, I read about it almost 10 years ago...
I'm guessing it's a electric gattling gun on a Suburban platform. Retractable roof, it's fiberglass. Nothing on the truck is bulletproofed, too much weight. The gun is made by GE I think, fires 3,000 rounds per minute (they ramped it down from the 6K it normally does. The spent shells fall out the bottom of the truck; it has a grated floor with a hopper. You going to pull it over for littering?
Now, I'll watch the video and post up the article if I can find it.
