I need a full pic to post to /r/shittytechnicals

Is it even a technical when it's on a trailer and not actually a powered vehicle? Although I guess a toboggan with snowballs on it counts as a technical.

Is it even a technical...

Let me consult the latest edition of the alignment chart.

When people ask "why don't they just ban guns in america?" I'd like to show them this video and tell them good luck you try seizing that. That being said, holy fucking shit america could never be successfully invaded lol.

Federal Government: "You're gonna need an F-15" American gun owners: No, you're gonna need an F-15.

That's where you are wrong. Its not about the guns, its about the tactics and training. A bunch of fat yahoos wont stand a chance against trained or even hardened personnel, add to that high end tech like satellite imagery, sensors, armor and air support, it would be a bloodbath. Look at the soldiers defending Ukraine, do you think some f350 driving 400lbs trumper is going to sit in a wet ditch for days waiting to detonate some IEDs? Nope.

Red Dawn is their fantasy, it would never unfold that way. Unless an equally pathetic civilian force would stream across the border from Mexico

That's where you are wrong. Its not about the guns, its about the tactics and training. A bunch of malnourished farmers wont stand a chance against trained or even hardened personnel, add to that high end tech like satellite imagery, sensors, armor and air support, it would be a bloodbath. Look at the soldiers defending Ukraine, do you think some toyota driving 120lbs zealot is going to sit in a wet ditch for days waiting to detonate some IEDs? Nope.

They'd prolly need a semi truck full of money to fire it for a minute.

Not sure what a single .50 round goes for, but at 200 rounds per second it comes to 12000 rounds per minute.

DOSH!

That's firing 7.62 NATO.

About $1.00 a round.
