They're not really tanks....From Drudge

I would recommend oil based paint. It is harder to get off than water based. Perhaps even an epoxy based paint would be good. I have never messed with it though. Need a good long distance delivery system. Some type of potato gun?

Water balloon launcher. No propellant, range of about 100 yards, fits in a shopping bag, made of easily obtainable materials. Only drawback is that it requires three operators.

Not really. Get two trees to hold the launcher in place and you can make it a one man operation. Probably could rig together a portable launching device for one person as well. Really just need two metal stakes and you are good to go.

Burn the tires.With all that weight it will not be going anywhere on rims alone.Also I doubt the top is nearly as armored as the sides and those bars would make it really easy to get on the vehicle and stay there.

I'm sure a batch of napalm would get them suckers burning in no time.

Also, the bullets they bought aren't really bullets, they're kinetic justice units.

Remember, in gov't hands, this is a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW). If a normal citizen wants to own it, it's an Baby-Seeking Assault Cannon.

Awful nice of them to install ladders all around it.

Those are anti-RPG cages. Designed to catch a soviet style rocket propelled grenade in the slats so that it's detonator cannot go off.

Those are run-flat tires. It'll slow them down, it won't stop them. The rims have a solid interior core. The inside of the hubs are the weakest spot. I was Battalion Maintenance Officer for my unit in Iraq.

Or just mud. Mud is easy to make just about everywhere and you only need two ingredients which are both easily obtainable. If you use diesel to make the mud instead of water it might catch on fire easily and further obscure vision of those inside while also marking the target for other friendly's in your team.

welp...he told ya so.

Plus after one of those drives over your legs,Keynesian economics will still be the governing ideology over you.

Here's the Trillion dollar question. Why do we need, on American soil, MINE RESISTANT armored vehicles? What? Is the husband of a little old lady they're going to bust for having expired medicine she forgot about from a surgery a couple years ago going to line the block with IEDs?

 

[MRK]

A mine resistant armored personnel carrier for serving warrants to illegal immigrants... are they serious? Do they have any idea how stupid that appears?

If you're not a criminal you have nothing to worry about.

Nothing.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Move along.

Epoxy would be the best but it's 130-200 for 5 gallon. It would absolutely destory the vehicle, and that includes making the windshields no longer visible.

Cop cars are hitting mines right and left nowadays, it's a slaughter I tell you.

Where are the weak spots?

They have limited off road capability (manual says 10 mph max) and do a great job of conducting electricity to anything inside the vehicle.

Glad I live in the sticks.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

This is getting increasinly disturbing. First the 2 billion bullets, now they are purchasing thousands of tanks. All for "Domestic" activities. Wake up people!

Wish Rand would step up and criticize this type of wasteful and unneeded spending.

The weak spot is always F = m*a

Armor guys well know to stay within the parameters of vehicle capabilities.
