Here is some Syrian Ingenuity

Not going to lie, I'm pretty impressed. Might not hold up well but still pretty cool.

One RPG. Probably just take RPK rounds if not less tbh.

[gjohnsoniv]

I never said it would hold up...

[Dolomite_supafly]

And it was probably built for a few thousand. That is what will make it special. Five of these built for under $25k would sink one of our $100k hummers.

That is how we won the tank battles in WWII. Our Shermans were easy pickings for the panzers but we had dozens of Shermans to a few panzers.

Good thing HMMWVs don't leave the wire.

Is that a piss hose in pic 4?

[monkeylizard]

It needs some flames painted on the side.

[mcurrier]

I wouldn't want to be inside that thing.  I'll take my chances on the outside.

I was wondering what that was as well.

I have to say that is an excellent Mad Max vehicle.  I almost expected it to be pulled by a team of camels but I under estimate those Syrians.  That's a pretty cool design against small arms fire.

The hose in the 4th pic has to be a crew served hookah pipe.

 

"Loader ready!"

 

"Fire"

 

"Ahh"

That or a speaking pipe was gonna be my first guess.

 

I have seen many construction workers rig up similar contraptions to get wee in the porta-potty from several floors up. I didn't see any easy way in or out of that thing, so logic flowed.

[TMF]

Pretty neat from an ingenuity stand point. From a practicality standpoint, that is a lot of work invested into a contraption that will be chewed apart by one AP belt from a PKC. That remote weapon system set up would be better served from a static ambush position with the operator off site. Very low tech and can be sacrificed and replicated easily.

[Daniel]

Yeah I meant PKM not RPK.

Some of them dudes still sport RPKs. I'm pretty sure a 7.62x39 AP round would penetrate that hull too.

[vontar]

It would be better then my truck for small arms fire.

I love the comments down below. "Thanks Syria TV for pimpin my ride"

I have considered determining the feasibility of adding 1/2" steel plate to the empty space areas of my Xterra between the outer skin and the interior panels. It is already a gas guzzler, what's a few hundred extra pounds?

[Guest fauklin]

1/2" plate will add more than a few hundred lbs. Well over a thousand. Bionic Post

and that's why we ask these kinds of questions. :lol:

Great decoy is about it.

It didn't stop everything, but it did a lot more than I expected. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Ok guys I said I would never post this but here goes.

 

Last year I bought a bunch of 1/4" ceramic tile for .59 each. They were 1' square and I bought them with the intent of seeing how well they would work for stopping bullets. I took two pieces and sandwiched a 1/4" piece of foam between them. The foam is for standoff to the the bullet fragment before hitting the second plate. I set them up with a tshirt over it and leaned agaist a carboard box. I shot it with 223, 45 ACP and 9mm. The 223 bullet material barely made it through and was lodged inside the cardbard. The 9mm and 45 ACP were stopped by the second plate.

 

This is not to be interpreted as being a good option as a lifesaving device. If you use it as such you will likely die. Do not attempt to do what I did because what I did was stupid, dangerous and I am lucky I did not put an eye out or worse.

 

But as a end of times means of providing SOME protection it might work. Even a single plate will likely cause the bullet to fragment, reducing its energy. I am going to make some more except this time I am going to wrap it in fiberglass and shoot it with 7.62x39.
