I'm sure all soldiers, regardless of their branch, will want to get their hands on the Secret Weapon Boss Hoss. This militarized motorcycle looks so badass, it was even a hit with little old ladies, according to the designer.
Conceived and built by Hollywood stuntman Eddie Paul, the Secret Weapon Boss Hoss motorcycle was commissioned by a car magazine who wanted a bike with a military look for a show in San Diego. Although the project involved making all the body parts from metal and building the rotating replica Gatling guns -- which are twin 7.62 mm electrically driven rotary-action six-barrel mini-guns -- the hardest part was the windshield. Seeing how intricate it is and keeping in mind it can stop a .44 magnum, I can see why.
