Ford Offers Armored Lincoln Town Car:

Ford Motor Co. is marketing an armored Lincoln Town Car that can withstand rounds of fire from assault rifles, handguns and submachine guns, according to a Local 6 News report.

Of course, it’s no protection against the Evil Armor Piercing .30-30 Sniper Rifle. And if your enemy has a .50 BMG…fuggedaboudit.

Seriously, though, it’s interesting what they’ve listed. Don’t submachine-guns in general fire handgun ammunition? And of course, doesn’t the real definition of assault rifle include something about firing a cartridge of “intermediate” power (i.e., more powerful than a handgun, but less powerful than a traditional rifle)?

I blame the marketing weenies.
