planeflyer21 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 These should fit nicely in the back of a Skyvan, Buffalo, or Caribou: http://www.dodbuzz.com/2016/09/27/marine-corps-equip-infantry-units-polaris-atvs/ Just sayin'.

blue109 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Marines actually get something new? Not hand-me-down army equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beantown Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Those are designed to be deployed from an Osprey. It's interesting to me that it is strictly a logistics vehicle. Fast resupply in any terrain. I can see the Marines mounting some serious fire power on it too. As blue said nice to see them not get a hand me down for once.

98Z5V Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Just a beefed up version of what we can buy, and the obvious conversion to JP8. Saw this one 2 years ago, in person - it's impressive. Again, it's a Polaris...

beantown Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 It really looks like a minnie Humvee to me. With a mini gatling gun, that would be one sick bastard. It's big enough for a tow missile also. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Wisconsin has had bad luck with manufacturing it seems. GM plant in Janesville getting shut down was a big hit on southern Wisconsin. of coarse being so close to Illinois is the real problem I think. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
