The U.S. Army has acquired a number of shipping containers that have been converted to remote weapons stations. Each container hides a machine gun, grenade launcher, or even an anti-tank weapon, and can detect and respond to enemy fire.

That is very interesting.To see they have already been deployed to Afghanistan is also interesting.Yet a conversion should not be that hard.

This would make a pretty interesting model... Hm... I think it's time to add this to a list...
I do some 3D design work. Message me for more info on what I'm doing or have done. Inquire about a product catalog.
