Where talking about armoured vehicles -- no on is goign to really use a soft skin MILCOT in a theatre.
If you don't have a turret and the windows are not armoured that is probably what you *should* be doing to provide security.
If the doors and windows are armoured, crack the doors to provide security when you are still or approaching a threat, ie. slip roads or fast movers.

Yes we are using the G Wagen now in Afghanistan and at home as an "Adm" veh. We are not yet using G Wagens in any great numbers in the Armd Recce role. Until we do, there are going to be endless debates about theories and such that may not even have relevance on the way we start to employ them. We have covered over five pages on this up to now and some of the more recent contributers to this thread haven't read any of it yet. We are going around in circles (STRAC) and getting nowhere. Once we do start getting greater numbers of the G Wagen and we do start using it in Armd Recce, then we will be better able to continue this discussion. Right now we have inexperience troopers posting nonscience.

You can't really stick your C7 out the window of one of them to provide any kind of effective vehicle security.
Maybe someone with more experience with the G-Wagon can tell you.
