Two things are fantastic when made at home: lemonade and tanks.
Two brothers from Maine built this tank they call the Ripsaw MS1. It’s controlled by two people, a driver and a gunner. The most impressive feature is that it can hit 60 MPH in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 80 MPH. Not too shabby.

I had the pleasure of talking with the brothers. Will the U.S. military buy this tank? If not maybe some other countries military?
Is that actually a M249 SAW machine gun on top? If so, how did they get that?
