Hell yeah.

I also know that one of the major private security groups (Heart maybe?) uses them exclusively in Iraq. I read some testimonials where they said they drove some trucks back that suffered multiple direct hits from IEDs, bullet holes into the engine bay, cut hoses etc, and they still made it home safely

The real question is: How much is the Russian Machine gun as a facotry option or is it better to go aftermarket?

The Russian PKM seems to be a standard after-market accessary in the region. Usually see them in the back of Toyota Double Cabs.

Dont think its the RPK. The sights are right for the K, but the receiver is more RPD and the gastube is below the barrel unlike the RPK.

Yea all 3 of those trucks are the same, you can see the light bar on that truck right above the hood if you look close and the back of the cab is white just like the others, you just can't see the blue from how it is parked...

What's with the blue doors!? It's almost like a marker for the insurgents... "SHOOT HERE!".

Nice pics though.
