AM General’s HMMWV (High Mobility Multi-wheeled Vehicle) has been under-gunned ever since it rolled onto the sand in Iraq.

Every bit as famous as the WW2 Willy’s Jeep, the aging Humvee has not been effective enough in the protection of marines facing deadly attacks from the likes of roadside IEDs and multiple RPG strikes.

Enter the JLTV – an all round heavier monster, designed for all-terrain tactical mobility and able to withstand and dish out, some formidable firepower.

Interesting article, seems to have a variety of car photos in their but I assume that the first 3 or so are the real thing.

It still doesn't help if a bomb flips the car.

Are the large windows a liability?

Maybe the Marines can get out and flip it back over . I assume its bullet proof glass, possibly not RPG proof glass though.

Are they going to make a civilian variant too? In which all the rap stars and middle aged women buy to drop their kids off to school and piss everyone off on the road even more because they're so fucking wide

Fuck.

Rather Batmobile-ish imho, I think it's fairly decent looking.

Not if you realize that a projectile striking a flat plane distributes its force in a perpendicular manner to the surface of impact; thusly, like in billiards, the same rule applies.

Looks decent actually, this will make a good replacement for humvee.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

The Humvee looks way cooler, but that looks like it might stop a bit more than a BB gun.
