I have not seen that done, but I have been thinking of adding an anti dipstick rocket.

You will have to remove the trunk lid so the gunner has someplace to kneel/stand as you careen over the sand dunes Rat Patrol style.

Talking Check with Jeff Miller
I believe he installed two of those in the front of his P-51 painted car a few years ago . . .
albeit, hidden in the front fenders w/ only the muzzle showing.

Keeping with the "zombie apocalypse" theme, I see.
Save the heavy guns for a Warthog build.

I like it!

My biggest concern would be if it is belt feed, rather than a drum feed, you may scratch your paint..
Oh and also..the spent shells can be pretty hot, so warn the driver..Hate to get one down the back of my shirt.

AC Bill, it is belt fed, but since we are in california we are only safe shooting 10 rounds at a time

I would love to see this thing mounted to jeffs rollbar, just for funnies.

Heck, even just a ten round burst, will still help clear traffic..

So the bigger question is, point it forward or rearward? Clearing traffic, or losing any tailgaters. I can see pro's and con's both ways.

Mark, with a 270* sweep from 12 around to 9 gives you best of both worlds. Driver safety from 9 to 12 (closer to 900 to 1030 on the clock)................
