4. Gun Placement
Sometimes you have a good idea that ultimately ends up as something horrifically stupid because of a simple flaw - gun placement. Take the GI Joe RAM (pictured above). Motorcycle, very useful! Small, fast, easy to operate, concealable, tactical. Great! How about a 20mm electronic Gatling gun? Awesome! Tremendous firepower with an unbelievable rate of fire. What could possibly go wrong? Pray to God that you're not firing that Gatling gun when you need to take a right turn. Because bye-bye front tire. Yes, the turning arc is directly into the path of the bullets. Sheesh. There's more, such as the
Defiant Space Shuttle, loaded to the brim on the launch platform with laser cannons ... directly beneath the Defiant's launch thrusters. Pretty sure after one launch those are going to be useless slag. Good going.
Here's the GI Joe Thunderclap. Yes, there are two guns mounted directly at each other. You know, just in case Mr. Caboose gets some funny ideas.
