How much would it cost to use the ball turret to shoot up the Lamborghini?

Those would be wonderful...even in current service they would have their uses, in this last great conflagration they would have shown merit.

You know your talking of a quad fifty that would still sit pretty giving the rag heads a bit of hurry up why use one when you can have 4!
Then there is that other piece of forgotten kit the ONTOS now with 6 recoiless rifles you could sit out of range of SAF negating the need to hightail it to reload each time you salvoed, imagine in an urban scenario 6 flechette rounds going down a street!
They do not play fair so why should the armed services of the world have to keep it squeeky clean its not as if the Taliban is going to take anyone to court for injustices caused by coalition forces!

(M1 Garand/M14/M1A Rifles)
The Old Dominion Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force has a functioning Martin Top Turret. It is my understanding that these were used in B-24s and B-25s:

Don't know about those, the ammo is out of stock I think. But the GAU21 is just new a few years back and would have fit the bill perfectly.

ONTOS ammo may be out of stock, but could be manufactured again!
