The MetalTech Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (ATAC)
In the Mumbai terrorist attack aftermath, the Mumbai police blamed their poor performance on being out gunned by the terrorists who were using MP5s while they were using Lee-Enfield rifles. The Indian National Security Guard (NSG) adopted the same PR strategy and claimed that the terrorists’ MP5s were far superior to the AKs which they were using.
To prevent another “out gunned” scenario MetalTech, along with Indian special forces, have developed a $45,000 armored golf cart!
The MetalTech Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (ATAC) can resist grenade blasts and gun fire. An interesting solution to the wrong problem (training the police to use their Enfields would, I my my humble opinion, be better money spent).

No, actually do some homework. That's not PLA.
Those are Chinese police.
PLA. People's Liberation Army. Look it up.
Wow.
Just fucking wow.
Okay so the cops complain of being outgunned with lee enfields, which by the 1950s could be outgunned by any new automatic rifle emerging then, I can understand there frustration. The enfield lee is a great rifle, but in today's urban struggles it just doesn't cut it. I would focus on giving them and training them with new weapons, or at least a rifle that was developed before -1895. I mean come on, I would be pissed if I was given such a slow rifle for police work. Mad minute my ass, more like youd have a minute before the mad terrorists turned you into Swiss cheese. It's the 21st century, volley fire of bolt action rifles from 500 yards away in entrenched positions isn't practical in such built up areas. They may blame money as an issue, well in a terror stricken country arming police and military with addacuate firearms would be near the top of my priorities. Just goes to show how fucked up some places are, I mean he'll I'd take an SKS over an LE in an urban setting anyway of the week. This fisher price piece of shit would encourage Indian police to FLEE the scene. Mount an FN MAG machine gun atop, or at least a fucking maxim gun knowing India, and we might be in business. At least till the Dixie cup chassis gives in from a gust of wind.
