    Hopefully they'll have a good air filtering system too, firing AKs in a confined space like that will be noisy and smoketastic.

    Can't see any way of clearing the viewing screen if the bad guys are packing eggs, either.

    Exposed axles? Presumably everything is hardened? Maybe? Perhaps?

    Did Metaltech design the Postman Pat van...?

    Well, the biggest flaw I see is that it was made in India. They are not famed for the roadworthiness of their vehicles.

    Re: The Anti-terror buggy!

    Here are a few I have seen upto now

    "last for six hours on a single charge"

    "The attacks in November 2008 took place in two luxury hotels with gunmen surrounded by security forces for about 60 hours"

    So lets hope there are no more terrorist attacks that last for more than 6 hours then

    "top speed of 25km/h (15mph)"

    And that all the terrorists are on foot and have a limp

    "Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts."

    but not doors and how do you press the lift buttons again?



    You could make your own, all you need is...



    some



    oh and a couple of

    if anyone has had a hot curry, they might accidentally let rip, and the thing will just fall over. Similarly if a leaf or something where to strike it.

    Re: The Anti-terror buggy!

    while this is a honourable idea, i dont think most oldies will have $45,000 to spend on an anti-chav mobility scooter

    and it wont fit in the back of a renault kangoo

    Re: The Anti-terror buggy!

    It might stop bullets but it's not much use if Mr Terrorist and his pals decide to just push it over.

    And 'firing ports'? Blimey it sounds more like Corporal Jones' delivery van. "Open 2, 3, 4. Fire 2, 3, 4. Close 2, 3, 4"

    Bullet proof - OK, maybe. (small arms)

    Anything else I think it will peel open like a can of sardines.

    Here's who makes it:-

    http://www.metaltechmotors.com/index.htm

    They mainly make buses, trucks, tractors? and a few custom buses, converted to special riot vehicles.

    "Given the growing threats, we need nano-engineering such as the Atac," Metaltech Vice President SW Thatte said.
    They used nano-engineering to build a golf buggy? WOW! thats has been be the bigged object ever made by nano-engineering, after all its a > macro scale device.

    Hang on a moment that firing port on the front left looks like it can be opened from the OUTSIDE not in!

    The only way I can see that being an "Anti-Terror Buggy" is if it immobalises the terrorists by making them fall about with laughter

    Re: The Anti-terror buggy!

    That thing's a death sentence for the first team to try and use it against any terrorist group with half an ounce of sense. What happens when two guys run up along side and flip the thing? Even with all that armour there's no way it weighs enough to stop that happening and then your trapped in a bullet magnet with gun ports that point in no direction that isn't useless.

    Re: The Anti-terror buggy!

    Can it do stairs?

    Wait, it says its used for extraction of civillians? It fits two people, so it's going to take civillians one at a time, at a speed of 15mph, on a 6 hour charge...

    Good idea that, how long does it take to recharge.
