It's an airsoft turret but it could easily be modified to be a gun turret so long as it had a more stable mount for to counter the recoil.

I think I saw a show about them. Those guys spend their time armour-plating cars for paranoid people and fitting windscreens that can't be called glass anymore because they are too thick and have to be classified as "transparent armour".

lol, no LLNL is a national Lab, meaning it belongs the the DOE, they have a skunkworks there for the future soldier systems. Robot suits, that kind of stuff. Everyonce in a while i get to go check out the new stuff. bad ass.

When you say Robot suits do you mean like exo-suit power lifting equipment or Metal Gear, 'cause either is pretty awesome.

that thing is scary just on the thought that a car tailgating you could pop something similar out of the roof. Though there are very few circumstances pre z-day where you would need that much fire power unless your fighting a war it is still epic win.

umm, think exo suit with combat applications. ability to leap vertically 20 plus feet, air assault out of helos without ropes, heavier weapon packages, etc. As far as the dillon aero, yeah there is a specific need for those systems which is why they have them. also they are just plain cool. lol Really not much different then gun trucks used in theater, just on a different chassis.
