So, you think the Secret Service is slacking when it comes to protecting the Commander in Chief?
Well, you've most likely seen other videos of this wonder (Mythbusters featured it in one of their episodes). And now, clear the road for one of the sweetest stealth vehicles around!

Fifty bucks says it's a bullshit article. I HIGHLY DOUBT the Secret Service would purchase that, IF it was for sale. AFAIK, only one exists, and it's owned by Dillon.

Fresnel Fifty bucks says it's a bullshit article. I HIGHLY DOUBT the Secret Service would purchase that, IF it was for sale. AFAIK, only one exists, and it's owned by Dillon. You may want to watch this linked video. I think that Dillon has built one for the SS. If not, they sure look a whole lot alike! http://jalopnik.com/5135261/obamas-new-presidential-limousine-first-video

I didn't see a single shot of an SUV roof that showed a trap door in it. The question that's on my mind is: why would the Secret Service NEED a minigun? It's too powerful. It's only made to kill mass amounts of people. It's not suitable for a group only likely to fend off single attackers. IT HAS NO SPORTING PURPOSE. 3nodding

There was one segment of helicopter footage showing the vehicle at speed with the gun shooting at it (thank goodness for big budget for blanks!). Anti-aircraft defense, anyone?
I looked for more examples of the new truck, but if it was in play during the parade, it was lost among 20 others in the line.
A long time ago, and at least two model upgrades before the current vehicle, the same company built a prototype. So the current vehicle is hardly the first or only model. There was an April Fools issue review of it in Car and Driver magazine.
And I would not be at all shocked if some outfit like Blackwater quietly obtained some for use around the world.

ArmasTermin "So Obama's first official act as president is going to be a drive by?" lol I've been thinking that since before the election, but I figured it would be in Air Force One since it can hold more homies.

There were people in the windows directly... above or below Oswald, I can't recall. Anyway, a minigun would probably inflict fifty civilian casualties and fail to wound the sniper.
