Obama's Gatling gun suburban

Sure, his Cadillac limo is nothing to shrug off, but check out this suburban that is in charge of watching over his motorcade:

I never knew they had that!

I think that was a new thing started up this term... I've never heard of them having that, just of having sniper style guys in the back and enough ammo to take down a tank... That's just crazy! But sweet!

A Gatling gun isn't exactly something made up in games or movies, they've been around for like the past 150 years.

I know that. Just never had the chance to try one out except in Fallout3

It's the movie. Leaving out the automotive.... it's exactly something out of Fallout - same scenery, same weapon, same bullets dropping... Obviously it's coincidental but as a FO3 addict I couldn't help refraining from commenting and kinda feeling at home!

(On a serious note now, I don't mean disrespect to the President, I admire him very much - finally a breath of fresh air for the USA)

That suburban was also on myth busters a while back. Something about shooting fish in a barrel.

AFAIK, the roof mounted gatlin models were just for show. I don't remember what company made them but I doubt they were ever deployed. They were just technology demonstrators (remoted controlled gatlin gun on roof, electrified handles, deafening blow horns, armor to defeat 7.62 mm AK rounds, etc.).


Pretty much everything about the actual limo is classified.
