Reminds me of the Nyla/Mamba.

Looks like it has more than 1 gun position on the top. Anyone have any pics of the top of this thing?

Very impressive, worth every nickle to keep our guys safe or atleast safer. The website of the company that produces it had some cool clips on it. One guy is from operation irob claw was showing a reporter a chunk of steel that hit that was embedded in the window, it went through 5 levels of the protective glass, but didn't get him. He would have been toast in a Humvee. I also like that it is made here in the US. I am sure it will get better and better as they encounter different scenerios.

I was reading They also built gun ports in the windows for troops to fire out of versus exposing themselves by geting out of the vehicle.

That last one looks like a bad addaption of the casspir with the double axle. And I agree that thing looks like our mamba.

Wow a saffer in plans at central command. Old De Wet must have served here in SA.


With its flat bottom and soft-skin plastic doors, if a humvee is directly hit by a land mine or IED, most likely the passengers inside will lose their life and the vehicle will be destroyed beyond repair, said Maj. Gert de Wet, Central Command plans officer.
