Heh.  Well the problem we've noted is that the players have pretty much 
found it redundant.  Why not just hold the weapon in question, stick your 
head out the window and fire the thing yourself?  It's a lot cheaper, given 
that it doesn't cost you to install weapon mounts and stuff...  :)

Yeah, there are some cool new weapons, but most of them, the players would 
rather...well, hold in their hands (when possible) and both take with them 
when they leave the car, and fire out a window when they're in the car.  And 
as for the heavier non-portable stuff, I'm not planning on handing that out 
anytime soon anyway....
