The "Ripsaw"

[Joe_Black]

Neat garage project, seen a couple similar run around here a few years ago. For combat or real-life I'd stick with something known to get the job done like a LAV...



Or maybe even a Cadillac-Gage V100 for the budget conscious...

I already have one! One of our Stryker ICVs headed up to Dahuk (from Mosul) a few weeks ago.

You're reading WAY too much into the Ripsaw man! Fun yes-Would I drive it around the streets of Mosul getting IED'd or shot at? Heck no!

Good thing those aren't cost effect for civilian use... It would make a nice commuter. Especially when being tailgated (brake check, "oh my god, did you see that dog?")

Actually, they are. I know a guy who built one and drove it pretty regulary and had it registered as a pickup truck.

Another inexpensive and fun armored car is the Ferret series of scout cars. These are plentiful and can go in reverse as fast as forward since they use a gear reverser instead of a dedicated reverse gear. Turrets for the Ferret handle everything from LMG to light cannon.
