that thing would be ineffective in a PAINTBALL GAME. Even less effective in combat. I can think of 4 different ways to disable it and/or kill the driver with items laying around my apartment. My rifle, my .45 pistol, a molotov cocktail, or simply give my trained attack dachshund the order to kill.
why would anyone need something like this? It's slower than a person walking, it can't climb stairs, and frankly, I doubt it will be able to climb anything higher than 5 inches without toppling over because of its high center of mass. It probably offers no protection against rifle rounds and is unnecessarily loud. Law enforcement officers? Hah! they could hear this thing from a mile away, SWATs are not using this crap nor are regular cops. A tank that is defeated by staircases? Who needs that?
howe and howe had to much drama in it for a guy show. and come on the badger looks like something a bunch of college students made for a project. all that tank could be used for is paintball.
@vanjamenadzer who cares? see the exposed muffler? put a rag it it . kaput! see the ventilation grill and rubber tracksi? thats where the molotov goes or a crowbar!. i can walk faster than this stupid thing.
@mac163 your only seeing this thing on its own, and without any defenses.... they put sniper rifles on these little badgers.... plus i doubt it would be sent anywhere on its own, without cover from something/one else.... in times of serious unrest, you approach this thing (while its performing a defense role) you'll be splatted to pink mist by whatever sniper has you crossed..
@xaviorbat lol right about the m80¨s. check the video out at 0:15 he puts his hands thru the tank! thats where the flaming liquid reaches the driver and turns him into a flaming meat loaf! flaming liquid gets into every nook and cranny. wouldnt want to be him. thats for sure.
@mac163 nope they tested grenades on it 50 cal. rifle an other guns the only thing that took it out was c4 but this is ment for swat teams or oficers not for milatary
@mac163 They've done testing on it. The thing is tough. blast tested with dynamite sticks<plural. Shot it with a .50. damn thing was still running. but a M2 on it and you have a very scary little machine. Though it would probably be turned into a UGV and disarm bombs and such.
Never leave a Bren-gun carrier alone in the same parking lot overnight with a BOBCAT loader. The resulting bastard-demon is gonna look like this thing..
Well you better have a revolver with atleast one bullet because if you tip over on the side where the door are and no one is around....well.....you pretty much screwed,
@IntegralDischarge tell me when the police would be doing a 1 man tank raid.. if the thing tipped over, you would just have to wait until your squad flipped it back over, and you would be bulletproof until then, dumbass
@austincr250 It weighs the same as a small car (1.3 tons) and seems to have a low center of gravity, tipping it over might be harder than you'd think..
@seahorse1945 If I was on guard at a check point I'd like to have some cover... lol I don't know. Wonder if its cheaper than a hmmwv. Weld a nice 50 on top LOL and hope than adversary doesn't have any rpg's
everybody come on its not for running around in the middle of the deserts of iraq through a mine feild or running over IEDs or careing mass amounts of troops around its for law enforcement not military made like that to be able to fit throught doorways inside a house so im sure an rpg7 or at4 would fuck it up but i dont think many people are gonna shoot that inside a house or have one of thos in the u.s or many other places were law enforcement can aford a badger
first of all,all the dumbass people that say it will get fucked up on the battlefeild and in urban enviroments should actually have enough brains to look it up on their website, because this is a prototype, dumbasses
Hmmm.. yeah, about as practical as a whole in the head. Ingress and Egress is awful, payload (seeing how it only holds one person) is minimal and the deficit a track vehicle has on urban terrain tells me this is either a design exercise or someone should get a pink slip and a place in the unemployment line..

if you wanta have some fun just build your own tank... im only 18 and im building a scaled tank myself.... check out youtube video "tank under constrcution (test)"
these are just prototypes....thats it, stop all of ur bitching...i dont see u funding and building new ideas that ACTUALLY work, these dudes think it then build it themselves
From China you say? Hmmm I could see one million Chinese soldiers in one million small tanks like these ...slowly crushing every flower in their path.
I think howe & howe should have went public instead of to the military civilians would love to buy there crazy vehicles the military would have caught on eventually
or do something bad with it, just like civies do with guns. Who the hell came up with the idea to legalise firearms in college in Texas? if LESS people get shot I'll never say anything bad about the US again.
@EliteGhost00-- Law abiding citizens having guns on a college campus is fine. I do not fear citizens with guns, I fear criminals with guns, and a police state where civilians are defenseless and the police are the only ones with weapons.
And what about all those people who get crazy and start shooting random people? being allowed to have a weapon sounds tempting.. but is causes over 1200 deaths EXTRA in the US every year.
so effectivly, what you're saying is that those 1200 lives don't matter?
Drowning is a different matter then getting shot by an idiot who hasn't got his mind right.
could be 12000 people aswell. I dunno the correct amount either. I just remembered it was something like that.
Being allowed to own a gun has its pro's. Unfortunately there are these sick people.. which is why guns are outlawed in most of Europe. On the other hand, if Europeans get shot at.. we can't shoot back
@EliteGhost001-- Not at all, those 1200 should have armed themselves. Do you think that those victims would feel any better if they were beaten to death with baseball bats??
So by YOUR logic we should ban cars because we can stop drive by shootings, bank robbery get a way cars, and drive by shootings all at the same time by banning the cars.
lol, ban cars to stop drive by shootings? no, ban guns.. that comparisson makes no sence at all xD
if not a single person has a gun, how will they shoot eachother? not. THAT'S the logic. Sure people will always find a way to get guns. But that's a matter of securing arms manufactures and controling the borders for smugglers (which the US already does). It workes fine in the rest of the word. So why not in the US?
@EliteGhost001-- So if I show you an incident of an FBI sniper shooting a fellow American citizen in the face while she was holding her infant son, or showed you actual video of the FBI gunning down Americans and then denying they VER FIRED A SINGLE SHOT would that make you think twice?
You never answered my question regarding the Constitution and the founding fathers??
Indeed I never answered your question. No I don't know how the founding fathers thought about weapons.
About the FBI sniper: that is actualy tipicly american. Nontheless.. they are law enforcers. Law enforcers in Europe have weapons for a reason which is mainly self defence. And as it turns out they bearly use their weapons. 2 conclusions: the weapons not needed that often and we're less trigger happy. I'veen a cop search an empty house with his gun drawn... but not here
You seriously think that a baseball bat is as big a threat as an automatic weapon? High-school shootings are a great example where the absence of guns would save countless of young law-abiding citizens.
Some guy who went crazy has easy access to dad's gun-stash. He takes an automatic, and empties it at his classmates. Dozens of wounded and dead. Or he takes a baseball bat... non-ranged, much less lethal.. his class will surely patiently wait for him to hit them... =_=
@EliteGhost001-- Did you know that murder is against the law? That murder has been against every cultures law for thousands of years? In fact I do not know of one culture that openely advocated murder.
You cannot ban evil, you cannot legislate it away, you can however confront it when it rears its ugly head, and becomes a threat to civilized society.
A firearm in the hands of a law abiding citizen is one of the best ways to do that.
ofcourse we can't ban murder, but we can make sure that's its harder to commit. Guns have made murder much easier. Giving citizens firearms will only result in MORE people shooting eachother and thus more murders.
Yes, that's why the number of 'law abiding citizens' who die of being shot is so high in the US. You tend to forget that criminals have as much chance to arm themselves as you do; LEGALLY. Also, they EXPECT you to be armed, so if you're robbed, they'll shoot you as soon as you make a sudden move, you'll never get to shoot your gun, because they knew you'd had one and shot before you could get it. You had a gun, but they shot first. Your gun was useless.
@MelloMP-- You obviously have not a clue regarding self defense and what it entails.
I had a friend who was beaten to death with a baseball bat, and whether you are killed by a bat, knife, or a gun dead is dead, which is the point you seemed to miss.
There is a difference between automatic and semi-automatic which you fail to distinguish. Do you actually own a firearm?
I specified an automatic weapon, and in fact, I believe I was wrong to assume those to be legal in the US. However, a gun is more dangerous to a group of people, than a bat.
I'm very sorry that your friend has suffered such a violent death, but my point was that where a gun can effectively threaten and kill large groups of people, a baseball bat can do so much less. You don't have to be a firearm expert to say there's less chance to ward off a bullet than a baseball bat.
@MelloMP-- Select fire weapon are allowed to be owned and very expensive. A person has to go through background check, licensing.
There is a term for people such as yourself who have an irrational fear of firearms, the medical term is hoplophobia.
A firearm is a tool that can be used for good or evil just like anything else.
George Washington called firearms "The peoples liberty teeth and the keystone to freedom" he said when the right to own firearms goes all rights and freedoms go.
I'm just referring to incidents which somewhat regularly happen in the US from what I get from the news.
Also, I'm a weapon enthusiast myself (medieval weapons though), so don't get me wrong, I see your point on the owning of weapons! I just think that the wrong tool in the wrong hands is a bad plan.
Let's say we agree to disagree, we both have our opinion, and this video is about the badger, so perhaps this wasn't the wisest place to react to this discussion. Cheers!
@usarmycaptainamerica a firearm is a tool, and a tool is a object which helps a person do a task more efficently... and with a firearm, that task is killing... so in any logical society, why would you allow civilians with no need to kill anything, to have killing tools... im not talking about hunting shotguns/rifles... im taling about pistols, compact and assault weapons that have no logical purpose other then human killing and yet nearly 100 million of these types of guns exist in the USA alone
@101andrewj I agree a firearm is a tool, it has no will of its own, and it can be used for good or evil depending on the person who is wielding it.
If I have a rifle with a 24 inch barrel on it and a rifle with a 14 inch barrel on it chambered for the same caliber which is more lethal and why?
You are not an American but Canadian, our Founding Fathers set out balances to our government that would protect citizens from a tyranical government regarding firearms ownership.
@usarmycaptainamerica of course the longer barrell rifle can reach out longer, and the bullet comes out faster because of the increased time in the barrell... but it cant be carried under your shirt, or under your car seat... a assault rifle, is a rifle made to be compact, more easy to handle and larger volume of fire designed strictly for battles with humans... USA has more firearm murders each year then every other developed nation put together.. and the small arms in USA number over 250 mill
i understand the second ammendment in the 17th century, but that rule has no place in a modern society... there is no logic to it what so ever.. i dont fear a hostile government takeover in canada, anybody who does is a moron.. you dont see the problems massive gun ownership creates in a capitalist society... too many people use them for bad.. and when somebody is shot or robbed in the USA, it is rarly by a hunting long rifle or shotgun... again, 10 000+ annual gun murders in usa, 175 in canda
@Astrowater that is a good question. canada also has over 6 million legally registered firearms, in a country of 34 million, that is about 1 gun for every 6 people in the country, not even counting the illegal guns, but we have nowhere near the same level of violence... switzerland has much less poverty and a much smaller income gap then that in the united states. its citizens have less need to commit armed crimes, as standard of life decreases, gun crimes increase
Yea! You can drive right into a crowd of untrained civilians armed with pocket knives!
But those big holes in the front are a little bit of a problem for any projectile. Gun, bow, stone, Molotov, pellet gun.

or do something bad with it, just like civies do with guns. Who the hell came up with the idea to legalise firearms in college in Texas? if LESS people get shot I'll never say anything bad about the US again.

@EliteGhost00-- Law abiding citizens having guns on a college campus is fine. I do not fear citizens with guns, I fear criminals with guns, and a police state where civilians are defenseless and the police are the only ones with weapons.

And what about all those people who get crazy and start shooting random people? being allowed to have a weapon sounds tempting.. but is causes over 1200 deaths EXTRA in the US every year.
EliteGhost001 10 months ago
@EliteGhost001-- I won't even debate with you your numbers as to whether or not they are false and misleading (for the subject of our little debate).
There are 100,000,000 or so gun owners in the USA, and by there silence it shows that they are in lawful hands.
You wanna break down for me what % 1,200 is from 100,000,000 ???
There are around 5,000 infants that die every year from drowning in 5 gallon buckets to put your 1,200 claim into perspective.
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
so effectivly, what you're saying is that those 1200 lives don't matter?
Drowning is a different matter then getting shot by an idiot who hasn't got his mind right.
could be 12000 people aswell. I dunno the correct amount either. I just remembered it was something like that.
Being allowed to own a gun has its pro's. Unfortunately there are these sick people.. which is why guns are outlawed in most of Europe. On the other hand, if Europeans get shot at.. we can't shoot back
EliteGhost001 10 months ago
@EliteGhost001-- Not at all, those 1200 should have armed themselves. Do you think that those victims would feel any better if they were beaten to death with baseball bats??
So by YOUR logic we should ban cars because we can stop drive by shootings, bank robbery get a way cars, and drive by shootings all at the same time by banning the cars.
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
lol, ban cars to stop drive by shootings? no, ban guns.. that comparisson makes no sence at all xD
if not a single person has a gun, how will they shoot eachother? not. THAT'S the logic. Sure people will always find a way to get guns. But that's a matter of securing arms manufactures and controling the borders for smugglers (which the US already does). It workes fine in the rest of the word. So why not in the US?

@EliteGhost001--"It works fine for other countries so why not us"
Have you read the Constitution? Have you read the founding fathers writings on firearms??
You believe in letting others secure your safety, like the goverment?
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
Since our government is pretty succesfull in securing our country, yes I do trust others.
If it can't be done in the US, I can make 2 conclusions:
1: A lot of people in te US are violent idiots. (I'm not saying all americans are, I'm saying a lot...)
2: The government always fails... because of the 1st conclusion.

@EliteGhost001-- So if I show you an incident of an FBI sniper shooting a fellow American citizen in the face while she was holding her infant son, or showed you actual video of the FBI gunning down Americans and then denying they VER FIRED A SINGLE SHOT would that make you think twice?
You never answered my question regarding the Constitution and the founding fathers??
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
Indeed I never answered your question. No I don't know how the founding fathers thought about weapons.
About the FBI sniper: that is actualy tipicly american. Nontheless.. they are law enforcers. Law enforcers in Europe have weapons for a reason which is mainly self defence. And as it turns out they bearly use their weapons. 2 conclusions: the weapons not needed that often and we're less trigger happy. I'veen a cop search an empty house with his gun drawn... but not here

You seriously think that a baseball bat is as big a threat as an automatic weapon? High-school shootings are a great example where the absence of guns would save countless of young law-abiding citizens.
Some guy who went crazy has easy access to dad's gun-stash. He takes an automatic, and empties it at his classmates. Dozens of wounded and dead. Or he takes a baseball bat... non-ranged, much less lethal.. his class will surely patiently wait for him to hit them... =_=

@EliteGhost001-- Did you know that murder is against the law? That murder has been against every cultures law for thousands of years? In fact I do not know of one culture that openely advocated murder.
You cannot ban evil, you cannot legislate it away, you can however confront it when it rears its ugly head, and becomes a threat to civilized society.
A firearm in the hands of a law abiding citizen is one of the best ways to do that.
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
ofcourse we can't ban murder, but we can make sure that's its harder to commit. Guns have made murder much easier. Giving citizens firearms will only result in MORE people shooting eachother and thus more murders.
EliteGhost001 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
Yes, that's why the number of 'law abiding citizens' who die of being shot is so high in the US. You tend to forget that criminals have as much chance to arm themselves as you do; LEGALLY. Also, they EXPECT you to be armed, so if you're robbed, they'll shoot you as soon as you make a sudden move, you'll never get to shoot your gun, because they knew you'd had one and shot before you could get it. You had a gun, but they shot first. Your gun was useless.
MelloMP 10 months ago
@MelloMP-- You obviously have not a clue regarding self defense and what it entails.
I had a friend who was beaten to death with a baseball bat, and whether you are killed by a bat, knife, or a gun dead is dead, which is the point you seemed to miss.
There is a difference between automatic and semi-automatic which you fail to distinguish. Do you actually own a firearm?
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
I specified an automatic weapon, and in fact, I believe I was wrong to assume those to be legal in the US. However, a gun is more dangerous to a group of people, than a bat.
I'm very sorry that your friend has suffered such a violent death, but my point was that where a gun can effectively threaten and kill large groups of people, a baseball bat can do so much less. You don't have to be a firearm expert to say there's less chance to ward off a bullet than a baseball bat.

@MelloMP-- Select fire weapon are allowed to be owned and very expensive. A person has to go through background check, licensing.
There is a term for people such as yourself who have an irrational fear of firearms, the medical term is hoplophobia.
A firearm is a tool that can be used for good or evil just like anything else.
George Washington called firearms "The peoples liberty teeth and the keystone to freedom" he said when the right to own firearms goes all rights and freedoms go.
usarmycaptainamerica 10 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica
I'm just referring to incidents which somewhat regularly happen in the US from what I get from the news.
Also, I'm a weapon enthusiast myself (medieval weapons though), so don't get me wrong, I see your point on the owning of weapons! I just think that the wrong tool in the wrong hands is a bad plan.
Let's say we agree to disagree, we both have our opinion, and this video is about the badger, so perhaps this wasn't the wisest place to react to this discussion. Cheers!

@usarmycaptainamerica a firearm is a tool, and a tool is a object which helps a person do a task more efficently... and with a firearm, that task is killing... so in any logical society, why would you allow civilians with no need to kill anything, to have killing tools... im not talking about hunting shotguns/rifles... im taling about pistols, compact and assault weapons that have no logical purpose other then human killing and yet nearly 100 million of these types of guns exist in the USA alone
101andrewj 8 months ago
@101andrewj I agree a firearm is a tool, it has no will of its own, and it can be used for good or evil depending on the person who is wielding it.
If I have a rifle with a 24 inch barrel on it and a rifle with a 14 inch barrel on it chambered for the same caliber which is more lethal and why?
You are not an American but Canadian, our Founding Fathers set out balances to our government that would protect citizens from a tyranical government regarding firearms ownership.
usarmycaptainamerica 8 months ago
@usarmycaptainamerica of course the longer barrell rifle can reach out longer, and the bullet comes out faster because of the increased time in the barrell... but it cant be carried under your shirt, or under your car seat... a assault rifle, is a rifle made to be compact, more easy to handle and larger volume of fire designed strictly for battles with humans... USA has more firearm murders each year then every other developed nation put together.. and the small arms in USA number over 250 mill

i understand the second ammendment in the 17th century, but that rule has no place in a modern society... there is no logic to it what so ever.. i dont fear a hostile government takeover in canada, anybody who does is a moron.. you dont see the problems massive gun ownership creates in a capitalist society... too many people use them for bad.. and when somebody is shot or robbed in the USA, it is rarly by a hunting long rifle or shotgun... again, 10 000+ annual gun murders in usa, 175 in canda

Astrowater 8 months ago
@Astrowater that is a good question. canada also has over 6 million legally registered firearms, in a country of 34 million, that is about 1 gun for every 6 people in the country, not even counting the illegal guns, but we have nowhere near the same level of violence... switzerland has much less poverty and a much smaller income gap then that in the united states. its citizens have less need to commit armed crimes, as standard of life decreases, gun crimes increase
