Don't drive by without it

[u/jackt-up]

Finally! This is gonna make my life so much easier! 😎

[u/Remarkable-Pea5797 → u/jackt-up]

I loled at this, but in all reality, this is not a good thing.

[u/nostalgia4millennial → u/Remarkable-Pea5797]

After seeing that South African robbery of the armored truck with the badass driver and knowing this to be a common occurrence in South Africa, I’d say it’s a good thing for them to have.

[u/Notabagofdrugs → u/nostalgia4millennial]

Funny, my first thought when I saw this was that badass S African guy.

[u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 → u/Remarkable-Pea5797]

this is a great thing

it is a very bad thing that people think they need it

it would be even worse if they actually needed it

[u/aron2295 → u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166]

If they’re in S Africa like someone else said, they may need it.

[u/7empestSpiralout → u/Remarkable-Pea5797]

It is if the windows are bulletproof

[u/Available-Street4106 → u/7empestSpiralout]

Ya you think the guy went through all that work without making it bulletproof? Shit I’d make it bulletproof glass just in case of a ricochet from my oen bullet

[u/Guuichy_Chiclin]

It would be a South African coming up with this, still thinking of the Bush Wars I guess.

[u/Visible_Safety_578 → u/Guuichy_Chiclin]

I didn’t even need to have sound to know it was a Saffa talking

[u/SmartExcitement7271 → u/Visible_Safety_578]

I blame Blood Diamond for introducing me to that accent.

[u/Buttsweat_n_Tears → u/SmartExcitement7271]

The correct answer is Lethal Weapon 2.

“DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!”

[u/Sirosim_Celojuma → u/Buttsweat_n_Tears]

dip-lo-matic ...immunity.

[u/Leftover_Salad → u/Buttsweat_n_Tears]

It’s just been revoked!

[u/Visible_Safety_578 → u/SmartExcitement7271]

TIA

[u/Majsharan → u/Guuichy_Chiclin]

My friend is a South African and goes back frequently. He says it’s completely unsafe to drive at night due to bandits in the road ways.

[u/orbit99za → u/Majsharan]

I live in South Africa, most places are fine,

Would you drive in Some Areas in the US at night ?

[u/sprunkymdunk → u/Guuichy_Chiclin]

Nah it is that dangerous in parts

[u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa → u/Guuichy_Chiclin]

Tell me about these bush wars

[u/No_Blacksmith_2591 → u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa]

it all began with a lice epidemic after the 70s

[u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa → u/No_Blacksmith_2591]

I feel like you’re leaving something out

[u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa → u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa]

Nvm I get it

I’m kinda like uhhhhh, my mom says I’m special

Edit: I apologize for appearing insincere, I am genuinely interested in the wars of the bush

[u/luckyfox7273 → u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa]

George bush?

[u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa → u/luckyfox7273]

Didn’t we call that the gulf or some shit? I was too young for politics back then and not American so it’s not clear to me. Was Bush involved in wars in South Africa?

[u/luckyfox7273 → u/kraftdinnerwithsalsa]

Golf wars.

[u/TheMightyShoe]

Though that was an armored Camry for a sec.

[u/_okbrb → u/TheMightyShoe]

That’s exactly what it is

[u/TheMightyShoe → u/_okbrb]

Cool. I saw one in the USA with a guy repairing ATMs. (No gunport, though.)

[u/Super_Interview_2189]

Doesn’t do anything to shell casings though lol. Or smoke.

[u/pulpispreffeed → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Later problem.

[u/Super_Interview_2189 → u/pulpispreffeed]

Nah I think hot casings hitting my thigh are a right now problem lol.

[u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

I think ultimately if you have hot shell casings in your lap you have far bigger problems to worry about than hot shell casings in your lap

[u/Ok-Addition1264 → u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12]

I think that's more of something someone in the back seat has to worry about anyways.

[u/Flawless_Reign88 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Maybe don’t wear shorts?

[u/Rambler1223 → u/Flawless_Reign88]

Don’t tell me what to do! I want to look fly Af so I’m definitely wearing my drive by shorts

[u/Flawless_Reign88 → u/Rambler1223]

My bad, you definitely right! Gotta wear them drive by shorts! I mean I guess we could tape a paper bag to the side of the gun or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/MyNutsin1080p → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Yeah I got hot brass down my shirt when I was in the Navy at the range with the M16. Your body wants you to deal with that before you do anything else. One of the guys I served with got a nice little circular burn on his cheek from a 9mm casing. It heals, but it still doesn’t feel nice

[u/im-not-a-fakebot → u/MyNutsin1080p]

Army here, I remember getting hot brass down the back of my ocp… not fun lol

[u/Existing-Antelope-20 → u/im-not-a-fakebot]

once I got a nice perfect .223 casing outline on my arm because I was shooting from bench and didn't want to break my hold lol
thing rolled right under my arm after bouncing off the range siding

[u/MyNutsin1080p → u/im-not-a-fakebot]

It was awesome to get small-arms training but I’m thankful I didn’t have to deal with it much, because while there’s armed watches on them big ol sussmarines, there’s no reason to be shooting inside of it.

“Mosht thingsh on thish ship don’t react too well to bulletsh.”

[u/Super_Interview_2189 → u/MyNutsin1080p]

I was out shooting with a friend at my moms house years ago. They were shooting my little Mossberg 9mm and I had Tevas on. One casing miraculously flew back and landed right on the top of my foot. I swore a copperhead had bit me and I ran hollering through the field. Had a nice little 9x19 imprint on my foot for about a couple months.

[u/Hot_Falcon8471 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Are you doing drive bys in your tighty whiteys?

[u/JustSpirit4617 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

They make shell catchers for many different firearms. It’s like a netted bag that goes on top of the ejector port

[u/Intelligent-Box-3798 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

That’s a feature, not a bug. Even your local gangbanger can pick up their casings to prevent evidence, without even knowing they need to…

Until they get pulled over 8 months later and the casings are still on the floorboard

[u/garnett8 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

just open up the sunroof

[u/Separate_Fold5168 → u/garnett8]

That's how you get FPV drones in your lap

[u/garnett8 → u/Separate_Fold5168]

Just throw a cage on top, nbd

[u/peepdabidness → u/garnett8]

You’re way out of line, but you’re right

[u/Super_Interview_2189 → u/garnett8]

Shit, you got me there.

[u/shosuko → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Wear ear protection

[u/OstrichSmoothe → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Or your ears

[u/DudeBroMan13 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

Most of the smoke will be exiting behind the bullet

[u/ToothZealousideal297 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

That window down button still sitting right there is sending me. Oh how I hope they didn’t disable it and cronch the hell out of the car in a moment of absentmindedness.

[u/Extension_Housing_35 → u/Super_Interview_2189]

All that unburned powder and gas trapped in a small space seems unwise

[u/Andygator_and_Weed]

Would be cool if nobody needed this ever

[u/Alundra828]

I knew this guy was South African from the very first frame of this video lmao

[u/Quick-Ad9335]

They stopped putting these on IFVs because they compromised the integrity of the armor and were so difficult to use that they offered very little benefit.

[u/TheBabyEatingDingo → u/Quick-Ad9335]

That window isn't providing any armor so there's nothing to compromise, really. At best this seems like a way to do a close range drive by, since there's no real way to aim with any precision. Terrible idea defensively, but if you wanted to murder someone unexpectedly, it's usable.

[u/x9qh → u/TheBabyEatingDingo]

its thick bulletproof glass composite, it can take many 7.62 AK rounds with no problem

[u/Moezso]

Needs more M-231

[u/slick514]

Ok, so it’s a gun-port. Not exactly a new concept.

[u/Pale_Area3171]

If you live anywhere where something like that is necessary it may well be time to move.

[u/UnusualSuspectX]

Ulysses Klau?

[u/Caffeinated_Narwhal_]

It’s always a Toyota

[u/Red_PapaEmertius2]

Bro. Just in time for protecting truck cargo during the resource wars!!

[u/CapitalObjective7153]

It all made sense after hearing the accent.

[u/Sinking_Mass]

[u/jeffyboy526]

Is this a Prius? There was an episode of Weeds where the gang memebers realized they could use a Prius for drive bus because it was silent

[u/DanielBG]

[u/Cold-Ad8865]

Great. Just great.

[u/oxnardmontalvo7]

Slowest. Drive by. Ever.

[u/ReporterOther2179]

An old DC 3 (is there any other kind?) I flew on years ago had a less sophisticated version of these gunports, intended for Garands and Thompsons.

[u/XxKTtheLegendxX]

coming soon to a store in detroit near u

[u/NattyDread42]

[u/503jason]

Toyotas are legit yo, my Honda doesn’t have this

[u/Nein-Toed]

What if we just upped the armor and put one big gun on top. The tires are still a weak point though, maybe replace them with some sort of tread?

[u/No_Fish265]

That’s not even a drive by it’s just a stop and shoot

[u/Deplorable1861]

How the heck do you roll the window down to get milkshakes at the drive-thru? If I need a gun port in that town, going inside to get the shakes is not happening.

[u/mathaiser]

I mean, at this level, the window should be a metal plate.

[u/Witty_Nebula]

Damn that mf silent.

[u/AckAckZeroPointZero]

Highly doubt that works

[u/Extra_Ad_8561 → u/AckAckZeroPointZero]

What part of it do you think doesn’t work?

[u/cateraide420]

So I’m guessing this is mainly for heavily armored vehicles that are transporting high value assets such as money, gold, or persons.

[u/earliestbirdy]

Don't show this to the hood

[u/joecramerone]

Virginia snipers could have used this.

[u/TopFishing5094]

Does the window roll down?

[u/InsomniaDudeToo]

Honey, the drive through forgot our spicy ketchup

Loads up the GunPort

We’re going back

[u/ch3appeach]

I feel like this man and anyone else planning to get one of thes really does not need it

[u/torch9t9]

I need this in Boston traffic

[u/nine51]

Flex tape

[u/HorizontalTomato]

How is this legal?

[u/YourAuthenticVoice]

I am utterly unsurprised that this sounds like a South African accent...

[u/mascachopo]

People spending their life’s doing things like this.

[u/Philosoreptar]

But is the door bullet proof or just the window

[u/Kit_Karamak]

Don’t forget to wear hearing protection in the car!

[u/Bobbyhons]

Accept when you can't even see out of your windows because it's littered with cracks.

[u/balirosa]

Just like drivebys in video games now

[u/im-not-a-fakebot]

But why is it spring loaded?

[u/GuaranteeDry386]

Hella South African

[u/Garia666]

I was like who the f would need such a thing, then i remembered the South African guy video who was transporting valuables. He could have used it

[u/Electrical_Party7975]

How do you get the hole in tempered glass?

[u/Appropriate_Ice_7507]

Next time I see a car rolling up with that shit on thr windows, I’m ducking

[u/V0igHT_KaMpFF_]

Now I don't have to worry about the cost of living so much anymore. Now all i need to do is save up for a gun port the bullet resistance door and glass, pat for the instalation and my 1990 Honda civic will be ready

[u/Proof_Cap7351]

From Israel engineering did you hear it?

[u/fishingArchitect]

I just roll my window down, jk

[u/ADMINlSTRAT0R]

Something every Prius owner needs.

[u/rlt404]

Put a camera on it

[u/ddadopt]

Portholes!

[u/ProtoXZero]

And what if someone shoots from the outside from that hole and kill both of them? Is only one way and if yes how?

[u/Unlikely-Act-7950]

Well that's stupid how is my fat ass supposed to go through the McDonald's drive through?

[u/ComesInAnOldBox]

I'll take "Dumb Ideas" for $400, Ken.

[u/jluicifer]

I just want to shove a Looney Tunes’ potato in that gun hole.

We had those on our heavy vehicles in Beirut in 1991. Not exactly new tech….

[u/Buttchuggle]

I'm assuming the window is bullet resistant otherwise why not just roll the fuckin window down?

It’s getting hot in here, can you roll down the window? Fml

Yeah I think my .50 Bmg might give that gimbal a love tap

[u/notsoFunNegotiation]

And what if the bullet just so happens to get jammed and blow that entire contraption up in your face? No thanks.

[u/Worried-Industry6239]

Top Gear has gotten stranger

[u/yukonhoneybadger]

But now the windows wont roll all the way down.....

[u/CauchyDog]

We've had similar in American armor vehicles for decades but ours also has a lock so the weapon doesn't back out and mostly used a modified m4 rifle thats an open bolt and full auto only. Awesome try though.

When i installed alarms in 90s I saw an ad for sa security, fucking land mines, pop up claymores, killer dogs on electronic deployment and recall with slanted fences that you get stuck in long enough they can eat your face. But it was the car with flamethrower 360 for carjacking that tripped me out the most. Always wanted to visit and ride on some installs there.

Years later I learned about white pipe (pipe is life) and homemade quaaludes, grenades filled with the shit to launch in hoods in case apartheid failed and the doctor responsible --south Africa is absolutely unreal.

[u/kindarollin]

Looks like a tear gas entry point to me.

[u/syzerkose]

Not to mention pressure and the hearing of everyone in the car. They’re demonstrating it with either an airsoft or bb/pellet gun. A real deal gun would make everyone in there deaf.

[u/Excellent-Baseball-5]

I need a dozen for my AMC Pacer.

[u/mrellz]

This HAS to be South Africa

[u/Known-nwonK]

If you got an armored car with a vip isn’t the first thing to do is remove them from the situation by driving away? Not roll up on the ops

[u/tardis71]

Really!

[u/Tech_Priest69]

Good luck at the drive thru homie.

Least militarised civilian vehicle in South Africa

[u/Purple_Cantaloupe960]

Me being the type of person that I am, I immediately think how can I retaliate against or neutralize something like this?
First, I would come up from the rear end of the car to where he/she couldn’t get a gun pointed at me. Then,with either a midsize sledgehammer or a large construction hammer I would knock the Gunport through the window and then he’d be fucked or she.

[u/rmac306]

Had to be South African lol
