Oh Susie Q, baby I love you

Azazel, I got it right there, in my first post of this thread

I understand.
Not bad. I wouldn't want it coming towards me.

I'd be sh*tting it if a nine-armed mechanised aardvark in a double-breasted suit was coming towards me

Armadillo. Protective plates already in place.

Oh I forgot to mention, that the one tube in front is to be used as flamethrower. One is the machine gun. The top machine gun is there just to look cool. And to have some light defense against possible chopper attacks when marching or moving to new direction. The top is closed and that gun is not used when attacking.

Also it can be used when it is used to defend a base. Using frontal tubes as granade launchers, and one guy can be rambo using that AA machine gun at the top. It is very psychologically effective, as it is 15.7, so the bullets are quite huge and does nasty to the person facing it.

[Pekka]

Sloww, damn.. that's pretty good name for it..
Too bad I didn't think about it earlier.. but hey, I want to design a simular but smaller unmanned remote control vehicle with same usage. That could be called Armadillo.
This is still Susie Q, because it's a babe and it's hot.

[Provost Harrison]

Can't you think of something a little bit more useful rather than another machine of death?

[Pekka]

Machine of death? This is machine of freedom baby!

Besides, door knobs for left handed people have already being developed, so no.. I can't think of anything else.

[Provost Harrison]

Machine of freedom? It 'frees' people by killing them...therefore a machine of death.

[SlowwHand]

Not often that weapon designers think of the wrong-handed.

[Pekka]

No.. it is designed to defend freedom loving people. Everyone who wants to take it away, well they'll just have to meet with Susie Q. Their choice. And no, don't make this a thread about ethics etc. This is a thread about Susie Q, the freedom loving baby!

[Provost Harrison]

One mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter, never forget that...

[Pekka]

I'm not talking about terrorists. How you fight terrorists with my beast? Not very effective, you end up killing only civilians. This is designed to invade cities.

[Pekka]

The front image is simular to this.

[Pekka]

The X's are spots for granade tubes (able to fire chemical agents) and the O between the lowest tube spots is the flamethrower. Ooops I forgot to draw the machine gun, well it's a bit higher than the flamethrower.

And 15 to both sides and 10 for the back, tubes that is. So 60 tubes total.

And it is shaped close to armadillo, like Sloww noticed, so the tubes angles are optimal and there are no blind spots.

[Pekka]

Also the desperate destruction mode is when the third guy instead of controlling the tubes goes up to the AA machine gun. He lifts the protective armours up, covering his upper body (he is half in vehicle, half out) from sharpnel flying all around. Can take granades, but not any heavier strikes. This way driver can drive, machine gun shoot, tubes are on automatic rapid fire and one guy is firing away with his 15.7 beast. This is only when it's desperate and you have to flee, and there are lots of living personel inside the perimeter. It's not handy, but it's an option.

I was also thinking putting two mini-guns at the top of the roof, like in choppers, and that it could be controlled with a helmet. They would move where you look at, and then just push the trigger to fire. But I'm not sure about this yet. It would take then 4 guys to use this baby to it's full potential, and that would mean it would have to be bigger and able to carry whole lots of more ammo.
