Gun trucks are absolutely kinoProbably the most realistic vehicle for a post-apocalyptic army/militia

>>64355733Gun trucks are amazing just reading up on how they were built>all accouterments for them were tactically acquired from theirs or other units
Battle of culican cartel trucks were wild sneaky with commercial paint, pop out panels and armor but I'm not finding themhttps://konniemoments.com/2019/10/18/mexican-security-forces-forced-to-release-captured-el-chapo-son-and-retreat-after-drug-cartel-engages-police-in-fierce-firefight-on-the-streets-of-their-culiacan-stronghold-following-his-arrest/#prettyPhoto

>>64360296>>64360105its a genuine pity that 90% of this board is too young to know what pre-surge Iraq was like.
>>64353755the notorious vic, ive seen em beat out actual overlanding vehicles
>>64363554>>64363554>welding iron plates onto humvees and then shooting them to test it good times
>>64364031That's not surprising. They are unbelievably tough for sedans.
>>64360036>>all accouterments for them were tactically acquired from theirs or other unitsThe proper doctrinal term for that is:Supplies Taken in Excess of Authorized Limits

>>64352644>>64358778>>64360002>>64360189Is it really a technical if it's already a military vehicle?I guess it would be, Technically a Technical.

Sometimes people online give technicals too much of a bad rap. I understand that many of them are quite crude and almost nonsensical, and can reach but a fraction of their hypothetical potential in conventional combat, but... Having a heavy weapon and actually getting it where it's needed, even though you have to finagle with it a bit due to the improvised nature, is always more than not having said weapon at all. I've learned people tend to quickly find ways to adapt to limitations and weaknesses. Well, as well as one can.
>>64367797 (me)And of course I forgot my pic...
>>64367797probably half the "Military vehicles" on the planet are some flavor of technical, in the "truck with a mounted gun an maybe some moderate protection added" when you get down to it. Like the entire unit in generation kill was effectively riding around in technicals. Humvee's were NEVER intended from frontline combat use like that, and using them as a tip of the spear cavalry maneuver force was **insane** by ordinary doctrine. Like, suicidal against anyone who had the balls to simply stand and shoot back.If that airfield they took had ten men who stood their ground and manned the tanks present half that unit would probably have died. But there they were.Like all over the world "Gun truck" is the baseline military unit and vehicles with actual armor and heavy weapon s capable of defeating armor are rare by comparison. They don't have a bad rap, anyone who knows anything respects them for the useful tool they are. Like obviously you'd rather have an APC, but those are expensive and you cannot park a platoon of mech infantry everywhere. Motor Infantry make up the bulk of most armies and within motor infantry units its absolutely obvious that all or most of the trucks should be mounted with guns. Be they 5 ton contracted army trucks or 45 year old pickups with PKs welded to the roll bar.
>>64353755yo this is fucking sic
>>64358773*drowns ur whole sqaud of marines in ur path*
>>64367739The late-stage hillbilly armor era where the DoD signed an multi-million dollar contract for high-grade steel plate from Sweden but had local units in Iraq cut it up with acetylene torches was even stranger. The whole thing was such a uniquely American phenomenon: we had to do ghetto rigging, but we could make eight-figure purchases out of the petty cash drawer. We're often criminally underprepared, but admirably quick to adapt in emergencies. We take pride in our own version of smekalka (i.e. American ingenuity) but then again, our improvisations are typically orders of magnitude better. And more importantly, we don't stop there. Our temporary solutions ARE temporary. Local improvisations were replaced by proper armor plate cut to standardized templates like in picrel. The bare steel was replaced up-armor kits that got installed at the depot level which were made out of modern materials like ceramics and kevlar which included bulletproof windows. By the first anniversary of the war, 1,636 HMMWVs had already been retrofitted with the factory-made Armor Survivability Kits.*sniff* It makes me proud to be an American.

>>64360251>>64360253are these russian or ukrainian?

>>64369060top is russian bottom is ukrainianfound most of this stuff on r/shittytechnicalsI hate webp files and the dead internet
Bikes are technicals
Show me where in the rulebook it says technicals have to be land vehicles.
>>64355733>niggerigging an M113 body to the back of a half-ton truckUhhhhhhh... what?
foolish hadji you cannot stop the Gavin

>>64370064
>>64370040It was more common than you might think.
>>64360284having an expendable inexpensive vehicle which does the job of million dollars westoid toys makes sense to me.
>>64360199that's a Vitara
>>64360205>You see this people carrier has space for the whole family and room to fit a pram or maxim!

>>64370057Is that a repurposed office chair? It looks like an office chair.
>>64360173There's a lot of criticism you can give to turtle tanks but let it never be said that they aren't absolutely fucking gnarly looking
>>64371926I'm looking forward to the casemate Abrams M1A2CM
>>64352644I wonder how long it will take before we see electric vehicles as technicals.
somebody post the new Indian 'mortar carrier' which is just a flat bed truck with like five mortars bolted to it.

>>64371963wouldn't the logistics be terrible?
>>64371963as soon as nuclear reactors become standard at every rinky dink FOB (probably never, definitely not in your lifetime)
