Only 90 pounds? I WANT ONE!!!!!

Pull the rear doors off, mount it sideways in the back, and call me Spooky!


Think that's cool? Check this out : http://www.saracen.org/

They build these locally. It's pretty amazing to see in action. The
minigun is stowed in the back. When trouble strikes, the sunroof
opens and the minigun is deployed via a scissor-type mount. Just the
thing to get you through that morning rush hour traffic.

The last test I saw, that minigun destroyed 3 cars in about 10 seconds
