just asking u guys but why do special forces use quad bikes. i know they are fast but don't they provide very little protection. and why do they put their packs on the front of the vehicle. won't they obstruct view or anything or unbalance the vehcile?? sry if i don't know much.

the reason (i think) for quad bikes is for mobility and speed. quad bikes if used well can travel in almost all terran. it can go up/down hill very easily. provides a lot of power for its size. each quad bike can carry two people. notice there are two packs in the front??? so the packs can balance each other... the suspension in quad bikes are often set so that weight don't need to be balanced (BIG suspensions). the packs on the bikes are low enough that it won't obstruct view.. it's too low.
Also this could be use for fast deployment for them. It is much smaller that jeep and FAV and also you can fit more in a ship and plane. The other point that is good is that you can have speed and an AT punch pack into that small vehicle.
What i think is that these things are to land first to annoy the enemy than jeeps and armoour vehicle

The vehicle w/ the 25mm AAA mounted on top: is that the light weight Land Warrior jeep due to replace the BJs?
I don't really get the idea of the weapons stand on the ATV. You can't shoot the weapon while on the move. And the time needed to put the weapon on the stand is longer than to use it when on the ground, and since the vehicle is so light, the shock from the weapon, if any, is also damaging.
Maybe the weapon can stand there on the move?
The minigun looks odd to me. And where will the ejected cases go? I hope there's a bag. I can't imagine driving with bullet cases hitting my head every instant.
Motorcycles!!! ^^
I prefer these over ATVs, but I guess that since China is outlawing motorcycles, ATVs are replacing them in the military?

I have 2 questions-
1) Why do special forces need anti-aircraft guns? Aren't they supposed to be undetectable?
2) Wouldn't the use of such noisy vehicles compromise the element of surprise? Aren't special forces supposed to be relatively invisible?

I think it depends on what the meaning of Special Forces actually means... if it means something out of "Ghost Recon" then I would also have doubts about the usefulness about noisy anti-aircraft guns....
But I would like to believe that Special Forces means troops that are trained to fulfill a certain goal, that goal may be to suppress enemy aircraft, or to silently infiltrate an enemy building, or to establish vital communications etc...
