road-runner Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Got this from another forum, check it out... What are the Black Trucks in a Presidential Motorcade? What are the Black Trucks in a Presidential Motorcade? Have you ever wondered what all those extra SUVs are in the Presidential or VIP motorcades? You know the ones with blacked windows that no one gets in or out of. Well, wonder no more. They have a 6-barreled 7.62 mm mini gun. They fire over 4,000 rounds per minute.The wipers need to be run to remove spent casings when the weapon is firing. This video is from the company that makes this happen. The vehicle is also armor plated. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6168989481667933909 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spathalogic Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I suppose they have these miniguns mounted so they can mow down the endless hordes of the undead, as they hobble towards the presidential motorcade through D.C. Honestly, what are they going to do with these? Oh god, there's a guy with a pistol in the crowds of people watching the motorcade! Quick, kill everyone! This seems to go against the scalpel theory Obama so often mentioned. Gunfire rains onto the unsuspecting crowd-goers as the president, listening to Don't Worry, Be Happy, zooms away.

smduff Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 That is pretty amazing that they drive around with those they must be worried about something, or they just like to hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick, kill everyone! This seems to go against the scalpel theory Obama so often mentioned. I was wondering that too. I mean sure it's neat and it could mow down hordes of bad guys, but how often does the president find himself surrounded by hordes of bad guys? I mean I know they have to prepare for the worst, but I really can't envision a scenario where they'd use this. I'd think a few well-placed snipers would be infinitely more valuable than this in real situations, but then again I'm sure they have those as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_storm Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 There probably just used for intimidation purposes to make some one think twice before attacking the president. I doubt you really need to use these when the president is in America but I could see the purpose of theses cars if the president was traveling in a 3rd world country or a country that doesn't give America a high approval rating. I always thought that those cars were just full of secret service agents that would get out as soon as something bad happened. I didn't know they actually were cars with Vulcan guns.
