what prevents someone from making a ballistic shield that is uparmoured to resist rifle caliber or at least pistol shots? and then putting two small wheels under it for ease of traverse?with that and a gladius you'd have something that'd be unbeatable in CQC in tight corridors
>>64224539You just described french counter terror equipment until that retarded bit at the end (they just use 357 revolvers and other short firearms, although the revolver remains in use due to the shield impeding slide cycling on semi autos under lots of circumstances)
>>64224539Well, the person creating such a thing would realize that if he ever bothered to put in such effort, he'd still get taken out with explosives. Mobility is king.
>>64224539>and then putting two small wheels under it for ease of traverse?they were pretty useless
>>64224539Actually, scratch that. Make a whole suit that's completely bulletproof and then put two small wheels under him for ease of traverse.
>>64224539what if OP was stripped naked then tarred and feathered, tied to a pole, to which we then set on fire with napalm while us audience jerk our nuts in sync
>>64224539>what prevents someone from making a ballistic shield that is uparmoured to resist rifle caliber or at least pistol shots? and then putting two small wheels under it for ease of traverse?Nothing

A duralumin shield used by the Japanese police in the 1970s was pierced by rifle bullets from the Japanese Red Army.
>>64224860That 'child' looks older than the cop next to him
>>64224555We need to go further.What if instead of wheels we use tracks, and also give him a gun mounted on the suit? We could also make the suit bigger to fit more people.
>>64224930I don't think so. You're gonna ruin the element of surprise when someone has to come and put the tracks down first.
>>64224909The japanese red army?
>>64224544>they just use 357 revolversno they don't. you NEVER see GIGN using revolvers anymore because the stupid mantra of "were not americans we dont magdump!" died off when everyone realized magdumping is based
>>64225117>The japanese red army?Japanese Communist Guerillas trained and funded by Palestinehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lod_Airport_massacre
>>64224860Tactical advantage of having an unarmed child as your battle buddy?
>>64224930That’s going to be heavy and hard to push. What if we motorize it so the person/people can focus and maneuvering and shooting?
>>64225249He's the backup rear shield
>>64224539What the fuck are you saying? Is this supposed to be a question? Why the fuck would you be using a sword when guns exist? Why would they need bullet-proof armor in a time when guns don't exist? Stop being retarded.
>>64225253If we're motorising them we might as well add several shields, to protect against fire from all angles.
>>64226045I’d like to be able to attack back as well. Couldn’t we add some kind of machine gun or cannon?
>>64226068If we did it would need to fire at threats from any direction. We should probably put it in a turret.
>>64226121I mean the only other way to give them all-around attack capabilities would be to have several guns, in some kind of casemate/sponson housing, pointing in all directions. Unfortunately a VLS set up would be a non-starter for indoors use, so a turret would probably be the way to go.
...and that's how Bob Semple invented his tank!
>>64225229>Japanese Communist Guerillas trained and funded by Palestine>funded by PalestineWhat the fuck
>>64224873Only when the Terror Condition is Yellow or lower.
>>64224873No. That would prevent them from doing their part for US gun culture.
>>64226164>Bob, we want you to build us a tank>"OK, I'll need a few months to work on the design - minimum - and all the steel and factories you can give me">Best we can do is a diesel powered agricultural tractor, some corrugated steel sheeting, and a Bren gun.
