Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
If that's the big motor pool on Custer Hill, I worked right across the street at MMC and pulled cable through that sumbitch over the headers on all the bay doors, etc. the summer of 1985.Originally Posted by rbeau30

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
Got out before they came into service. Saw a few kicking around, but they were for testing only.
I've heard they were having issues setting up comms in the early stages. And I thought a RATT rig was a pain in the back of a m151a2!
FHUGETABOUDIT!!!
That's one of the first generation versions. Everyone who deploys nowadays has to go through the rollover drill exercises as part of their "check off". I'm currently deployed and not in a combat zone at all and had to play in them.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
A RATT rig? You mean, radio-teletype? That was RATT in the early '70's. I can't imagine it's the same thing now!
I thought MRAPs had a v-shaped bottom to direct a blast. I don't see that one the one pictured.

Look at the shape of the rear door, then check out the boxes and how they fill out the dead space to give the vehicle a more traditional appearance.

^^^^^ Irving's got it dead on. Early ones looked pretty goofy with the V-hull exposed. The never designs have more storage with the boxes. Fill em with crap and it slightly lowers the center of gravity, but not enough to really count.
Lol! Our unit still had them in the 80s!! they wound up upgrading somewhere mid 90's ah yes the good old infantry!! Lowest bidder with outdated parts and equipment!!
FHUGETABOUDIT!!!
Yes there are multiple versions. "MRAP" is just a type of vehicle (mine-resistant armor protected)... like "AR-15" is a type of firearm, but there are various models and manufactures.
We had M-ATV's and RG's. The RG's were extremely underpowered, but weren't as cramped as the M-ATV's. From what I've heard from guys who've used em, the Cougar is currently the best.
Haven't played with a cougar, but I sure did like the M-ATV. Even got one to roll over once
Just call me 47
