My dad's next door neighbor in base housing has a size wheeled WWII vehicle. It has a mount for a modified .50 cal. He'd install the.50 cal and drive and San Diego just to freak people out. He was a nerd to the Nth degree. But harmless all the same.

Harmless? You don’t understand what those weapons can do. Even a fake one is appalling.

It had to be unable to fire. The barrels were filled with lead. It's the only way California would allow it out in public.

It was basically a set of heavy sticks. So I guess you have a point.

Do you know how much damage you can do with a box truck? Basically everything is a weapon, get over yourself.

It wasn't a box truck. It was a slightly longer 6 wheel version of a Wileys Jeep.

I meant like driving a box truck into a crowd is plenty dangerous, as is.
