I know what I want for Christmas
THAT. IS. AWESOME!!!
Is there a height limit? I'm 6'6" (and I'm concerned that I might get stuck in there)
Would love to get behind the "meat chopper" as well. (Quad .50s)
Take all of my money.
Oh God no. The claustrophobic feeling is starting just watching it. Prefer an MRAP turret instead.
A couple weeks ago, I got to see a ball turret up close at the USS Intrepid Museum (admission is free for Veterans) in New York City.
I don't think there's any way I could crawl inside there and have any hope of getting back out. Made the driver's hatch in an Abrams tank look roomy.

There's a lot of us that have outgrown a ball turret.
That's utterly badass!!!
Oh heck yes. But I've probably outgrown the ball turret.
I don't think the ball turrets were designed for people like you, big guy.HollywoodBQ said:

Wasn't there a movie about a gunner trapped as the plane crashed ?
Memphis belle? not sure. I remember one where the landing gear wouldn't operate and they couldn't get the guy out, but don't remember the movie.BigJim49 AustinNowDallas said:

Wasn't that Amazing Stories? Ball gunner was a cartoonist and dreamed up cartoon wheels?

Yeah, he drew giant yellow wheels. One of my favorites growing up.
