What on earth does a school system need with two hummers setup for launching missiles?

That said we got two this week.

I see the Hunmers, but I ain't seeing the missile launchers.

Well they have the turrets and what looks like spare missile racks in the back. Plus storage boxes for various sights. But no actual launcher. Lol

I'd say the chances are good some idiot bid on the wrong auction.  This is the school system after all.

Those aren't set up for launching missiles. Do a search for the Avenger missile system and you'll see what a missile-equipped Hummer looks like.

Those are a fairly standard configuration. The turrets are pretty standard and are meant for the mounting of weapons like the M249, M60/M240, M2 and Mk19.

I don't know what grade level of school those are at, but it could be an auto shop project.

Hummers are very easy to steal....thats pribably why someone "accidentally" ordered them.

TOW, maybe?

The City of Porterdale seems to have acquired one as well. It stays parked along the road in front of their police station. That tiny little town just got a bunch of new police cruisers, too, so ticketing must be working out.

Dumb blonde buyer for school system misinterpreted the meaning of "I could use a hummer" from her boss.

How much do you those run at .gov auctions?

Prob, especially since one of their speed limit signs is at ground level making it hard to even see, so those unfortunate people who don't see the new lower speed get pulled over and hit with a ticket right there.

I haven't gotten a ticket, but make it a point to drive around porterdale.  Town won't ever improve or prosper with that attitude.

As stated before - those are former TOW version HMMWV. Those are TOW storage racks. Gunner stood in the hatch area and launched-tracked the TOWs.

The missiles on the Avengers are Stingers.  It's an air defense system, not anti-vehicle.

Yep, I am we'll aware of that. Knew that when I posted it.  My brother spent several years in an Avenger unit in the NG, I went out and played with them on a few occasions.

I know this is pretty lame, but that's never stopped me before. Found this for the Tamiya model of the Humvee w/ Tow launcher. Looks similar.
