The HMMWV was, however, unable to fulfill the role of the Mule, so the M-Gator, a military variant of the popular John Deere Gator vehicle, was introduced

Here is a photo of one of those from my other thread:

I think the original intent of the gator over there was just for a camp runaround and garbage hauler, all round taxi. Once the troops get hold of it things happen. I'm surprised you guys didn't have a quad mount C9 for it...
