Why was the AK-47 in the Mercedes Benz?

Haha...at the rate things are going in the world. Everyone will need one with bullet proof glass. Just like that one.

I’d like to see what would happen if the AK were shot through the door of the car. Apparently the glass is “bullet proof” but how about the rest of the car?

They will also do the side panels, underneath and overhead. The car will be expensive and a bit heavier but if you need protection that would be it.

That is how they outfit the presidential suburbans.

Pretty sure that they armor the side windows and door panels, too. Grill shots or cowling shots that don’t hit the glass from the front may be another story.

Also, you notice the shooter shot a couple three at the driver and then moved off....wonder how sustained point impacts would do?

Regardless, the guy didn’t flinch, and I couldn’t see where he’d peed himself after he got out.

Having been modified by an armored vehicle company, chances are the body is protected as well. The Mercedes is wholly incidental here.

“Why was the AK-47 in the Mercedes Benz?”

It’s a shell game.

Hey, Slim, did you get much snow yesterday? Saw some nasty roads out in the East Mountains. We didn’t get squat in Rio Rancho.

5-6 inches at my place. The roads were good by 1:00.

Fair amount, given the time of year. I talked to my folks up in Idaho (Boise area). They got 10+ inches with some bigger drifts.

My dad mentioned there were over 400 wrecks on Treasure Valley roads up there.

When I lived there, 9 out of 10 of those wrecks seemed to be recent transplants who didn't realize that, while 4x4s can go pretty decent in the snow/ice, they don't really stop any better. The other 10% were hapless victims of the first 90%.

Thanks for the information. I don’t think I need that kind of protection, and besides, I’m not a Mercedes person.

I’m pretty cautious, I made it 15 years out here with a 2WD truck. The only reason I switched to 4WD was I had reached the end of my patience with putting chains on.
