OGPK Mounted Humvee

Post by BruteForce »

This longer view shows the OGPK mounted on a Humvee. The kit emphasizes protection from enemy fire coming toward the front of the turret. More than 8,000 kits were fielded in 2007 in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army says.

How do I get one of these? I've love to purchase at my local GM dealer! :D

The 1151 w/ cat V armor turns like a ship, it leans heavy in corners.

:wink: BAH!

Thanks for bursting my bubble, gents.

In all seriousness, I do hope to source an original H1 Humvee from Army surplus, provided its not shot-up and damaged.

Ugh!! Fuck I hated those things! Especially when the radio and BFT invade what little space the TC has so you sit at a slight angle in your seat for the 8-12 hours you're on the road!
