Another nice thread you started Israel. It will sure give e ideas of future builds 
Thanks, Mike! I especially like the pick-up truck with the BMP-1 turret. Shouldn't be a difficult conversion...
Speaking of BMP turrets...
Gim'me a screwdriver and a hammer and I'll fix that gun!

the animal skins are actually a proven method as armor on ancient siege equipment. When made wet the skins are repelling fire caused by flaming arrows. So these guys are most definitely on to something.

Now those are some funny captions. Israel, you should do a stand up comedian. I tell you, you will be good at it as I was busting out laughing reading your comments on every pic. Thanks bro.

True, the captions are at least as good as the pictures... About those: Where do you get all that stuff?

Judging by these pictures, shooting flaming arrows on tanks seems more than plausible...

OK Google, we all hold RPG rounds in our right hands. What now?
Weapons - check!
Ammunition - check!
Food - check!
Water - check!
Transportation - check!
I'm ready for the revolution!

A few observations, bro':
#1. The barrel is full of dirt.
#2. Your finger is on the trigger.
#3. The safety is "on".
#4. The combination of all of the above will make shooting
difficult.
#5. Are you sure you need those extra bullets around the barrel?
You can repel an SS infantry regiment with that magazine
alone...
#6. The decoration of personal weapons is not allowed, even if
it's done by your granddaughter.
#7. Cool mustache!

just like the animal skins this is also proven in history!!!!!
During the American civil war artillery on both sides used "Grape" shots with devastating results.
C'mon people again this guy is on to something to!!!
