   If I lived in LA I’d get one just for rush hour.

   “You can easily fit 20 armed people in here,”

   Technically it is an APC, Armored Personnel Carrier.

   the vehicles could withstand fire from 50-caliber mounted weapons and grenade blasts,

   I doubt if the tires could, since they are exposed.

   The two armored vehicles were cloaked in inch-thick steel plating.

   Heavy, poor acceleration, poor handling, poor stopping, and poor off road capabilities. A RPG or an IED would take it out.

   SH, you should offer your services as an adviser.

   National Geographic had an interesting program a while back, “Cocaine Submarines”. Really just low profile boats to make them less visible avoid radar.

   No thanks I hear they have a lousy retirement plan. BANG!

   Just think if all their ingenuity and hard work went into honest work. They could make fortune and live long enough to enjoy it.

   Drug traffickers have never been faulted for lack of ingenuity. They have dug and ventilated thousands of feet of underground tunnel from Mexico to California, refashioned light aircraft that release packages of drugs into remote areas, and invented homemade “semi-submersibles” that cruise the Pacific Coast of South America northward.
