^^ "laser in the 30kW range" is pretty cool, K-Slacker, nice one. It took them "a few seconds" of focus to melt the engine back then!
Here's a fun blast-from-the-past, the IMI Combat Guard; the humongous tires seem to beg for a bonus to-hit, or a chance to get hit when aiming a normal shot at the side or front.
The article ends with a promotional video link. I love how everything about it is termed "Defensive" when it obviously should be used as an Offensive vehicle. No mention is made of the exposed 54" tires' protection, I'd figure they have to be some kind of Run-Flat, Solid and/or Kevlar lined to not be destroyed by any random pistol shot.
I like how the announcer guy says "lithe-ality" instead of leathality...
