M1161 Growler

>>30040850
what's wrong with it?
just looks like a crewcab jeep with a M2/Mk19 strapped on

>>30040850

It looks neat.

And whoever makes it took some DoD suits to a strip club one night and picked up the tab.

>>30040864
eh probably more the other vehicles weighed too much and the marines have been lying for decades about the Ospreys lifting capability

>>30040850
Corruption and incompetence are essential parts of military procurement.

Also the DoD outsourced all their engineering and design a few decades ago so they don't even know what they want. Contractors invent something, hire a few Generals, and they convince the military they need whatever it is.

DIGUSTING

>>30041553
I thought it was just $100k, not 1 million.

>>30041574
the shitty mortar is included in that 1 million

>>30041044
>the other vehicles weighed too much
>literally believing this

>>30041671
>that price for a shitty mortar

What the fuck
And it can't even transport ammo and crew at the same time

>>30041553
>here's why this vehicle is shit
pic comparing prices of vehicles
>Oh and it's the mortar that drives the price to 1 mil, vehicle itself costs like 100k

So you literally have no case against the growler other than autistic armchair rage

>>30042002
No
It's still an underperforming piece of shit

>>30040861
It's a $200,000+ jeep that is prone to breaking

fun fact: they can fit inside an AAV

>>30041976
Competition have stuff like armor, more powerful engine, etc
Ofc they weighed more

>>30043014
Neat.

Only time i ever saw it while being a grunt is when the arty dudes had a couple of them to haul around their 120mm mortars.

we had this

The problem is we spent hundreds of thousands on blowtorched milsurp that couldn't leave the bases because it was too thin skinned for it's job

Growler even got banned from being used around Garrison as a staff vehicle and light truck. Deemed too unsafe compared to HMMWVs, John Deere Gators, Polaris Rangers, and civilian vehicles.

>>30043102
who puts 2 MGs on their jeep? Why?

The purpose in buying it was to have something that could be air dropped from a V22 which we already had and the things we had are cheaper and better
