Deploys kinda slowly for what it's trying to accomplish. They normally have a regular up and down for normal entry and exit an almost instant up emergency deployment. Oh yeah hit the control arm at a oil refinery and watch that thing fly. God help anyone driving over it.

Embed into link. eta: Looks like the same kind of barrier the cop in DC hit when they were having that goat rope which ended in the chick from CT getting shot by a bunch of cops. |

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near them when they deploy. |

That is what I thought. Quoted:

So the terrorists just need to load all the explosives in the cab. Still delivered. That is what I thought. If the target you are trying to hit happens to be about a hundred feet straight ahead of the barrier, sure I guess. |

Deploys kinda slowly for what it's trying to accomplish. At the chemical plant where I used to work they installed the hydraulic pylons. They deployed in *well* under a second. They were driving a BIG ass semi truck over it and someone forgot to disable the activation pad. Those pylons hit the bottom of that truck so hard it sounded like a bomb went off from 200 yards away, where I sitting in the "smoke pen.". We ran toward the sound to see what happened and what we found was one very pissed off trucker standing next to what appeared to be a pile of scrap steel that, in some ways, *may* have resembled something that looked like a truck, at some point in history. The pad sensed the truck and deployed the pylons underneath the first 30" of the vehicle while it was moving at around 30Mph to cross a road that intersected the plant's main throughway. It *completely destroyed* the vehicle AND stopped that truck COLD. I stopped worrying about VBIEDs at the plant after that demo. Of course, the plant had to buy the guy a new rig, pay his medical costs and, in all likelihood gave the guy a few bucks for his trouble but, fuck, it was probably worth it to someone to have a real life test of the system. It was *certainly* worth it, to me, for the entertainment value. In all honesty, I'm really quite shocked the guy wasn't *more* injured, based solely on the state of the vehicle. |

Did you watch the video? No way a bullet is doing that. The point is to stop the vehicle dead. Not shoot the driver or kill the engine and allow the vehicle to coast into its destination. |
