Spotted: The police

[sidewaysD]

most definitely there "Urban Assault Vehicle " UAV that was mentioned in the paper of them picking up one.

Same light grayish blue as the Calgary TAC team uniforms.

Its purpose is to transport TAC team members in safely with off road capability. Basically it can pop the curb into the front door of your house tie a line to the rear and rip the door off while ripping the terrain with it.

It also has a Commanders canopy on the top for a quick assessment of the area before breaching or planning.

Anybody remember that Conquest Knight vehicle?

That thing is ridiculous.

And I've seen General Dynamics drive their APC's down Deerfoot before... I would take the APC over that thing anyday.

I'd like to find out the hard way

Seems more directed towards attempted bombings. Bulletproof vehicles don't need that much armour.

It's the same vehicle, just civilianized. (I don't care if that isn't a word, I'm using it anway )

That's a perfectly cromulant word.

And it's definitely the same vehicle you can't see in my pic but the top part where a person can pop out is a giveaway. However I'll be upset if it has a PS3 in it like the link posted says it does.

May I commend you on the nice incorporation of cromulant into a post.

Really? You do know that there are different kinds of bullets, right? Protection against military rifle rounds looks much different than protection against handgun rounds.

[psycoticclown]

I think that the vehicle will be sufficiently armored for your run of the mill 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds, especially since AK's are easy to get hold of... well maybe not easy, but fairly easy. Now something like a .50 caliber round out of something like a M107 is completely different. That said, most groups with the firepower of a M107 would most likely have extremely good military training and theres not much that would be able to stop them anyways.

Maybe...But I am very confident what you drive is no faster than HAWC....

[88jbody]

is it bad if I have seen that and a couple excursions circling my house?

[88jbody]

HAWC is a Eurocopter EC120 Colibri
# Never exceed speed: 278 km/h (150 knots, 172 mph)
# Cruise speed: 223 km/h (120 knots, 138 mph)
# Range: 710 km (383 nm, 440 mi)
# Service ceiling: 5,182 m (17,000 ft)

be tough to out run unless it was already low on fuel

You'd think, but, this pic is from bridlewood SW.

bridlehood, the newest upcoming area for shootings and random violence and crime.

Everytime I'm there, it reminds me of the NE more and more.

Most bulletproof vehicles are only rated for certain types of ammo. You put a big enough bullet into anything "bulletproof" and it'll go through.

It doesn't even look THAT armoured. No more than we have at Brinks.

I may happen to know a guy who has some full metal jacket rounds that will go thru a rail road rail... Thats gotta be 2inch steel
