    I was pondering it on the drive home today... I can kind of see where they're coming from. A handful of guys with AK-47s in the middle of nowhere could cause havok.

    Still, I was thinking that you could just strap a P90 or an MP7 on each competitor, and maybe a little body armor. Terrorists could be just another road hazard.

    Let the heavy-truck class run first, after being fitted with complimentary ring mounts and an M2. Oh, and give stage bonuses for ammo conservation. :bwgr:

    That's why I recommend the weapons I did. They're each under 3kg loaded and small enough to not get in the way. More than a handgun, less than an assault rifle.
