    This might be enough to bring back the late, lamented Mr. Free Market. He was a renowned expert on African light infantry.

    I’ll say that some of this stuff is pretty well done, but there are some that are little more than we did it because we can, like sticking a zeus on the back of a toyota, they fired a couple shots and it looked like the truck was going to roll over, I’m sure there was no accurate fire involved.
    There is something to be said for mobile artillery so the tank turret does make some sense.
    The remote turret and the RC machine gun were both pretty clever, though I suspect the the RC machine gun will probably be easily destroyed by any competent marksman.
    Of course the problem with using off the shelf cameras mounted on machine gun is that they will have a hard time maintaining zero and may just tear the camera apart, but as long as they are cheap and plentiful you can just keep replacing them and it’s probably totally worth it.

    Oh ya something else I forgot, the soft steel plates they use for armor on some of the armored trucks.

    Not one of those weapons was equipped with sights.

    Sights are for infidels.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
