User blog:Snigel/Terror travels on treads: The Killdozer vs The Peacemaker

The Killdozer, Marvin Heemeyer's instrument of revenge that ravaged Granby, Colorado, '' VS The Peacemaker, The Bullet Farmer's post-apocalyptic metal menace. When these two dreaded vehicles go against each other, which one will end up as scrap metal, and which one will be declared the the deadliest vehicle!

The Killdozer
"The Killdozer" was a nickname given to an improvised armored vehicle built by Marvin Heemeyer, a Granby, Colorado mechanic who became disgruntled with the local government after a zoning dispute. After failing to gain any ground with petitions, Heemeyer modified a bulldozer with home-made composite armor made from steel and concrete, armed with a Barret .50 rifle, a civilian version of the FN FNC, and a Ruger Mini 14. Heemeyer then proceeded to go on a rampage against the town of Granby, leveling several structures, the bulldozer surviving all attempts by police to disable it with firearms and even three explosions. The rampage finally ended when the bulldozer got stuck in the basement of a structure, and Heemeyer committed suicide with a handgun. The bulldozer was nicknamed "The Killdozer", although Heemeyer was the only one who was killed in the incident.

 * -|FN FNC=The FN FNC is a 5.56mm assault rifle based on the FN FAL. The weapon was first entered general issue service with the Belgian Armed Forces in 1989, thought it had been used by the paratroopers for years before then. The weapon is also the standard issue service rifle for the Swedish military, adopted in 1986, and is also used by Indonesia, Malaysia, and several other countries. The one that is used by the Killdozer is the civilian variant that fires only on semi-auto.

 * -|Ruger Mini 14=The Mini-14, is a small, lightweight semi-automatic carbine manufactured by the U.S. firearms company Sturm, Ruger. The name Mini-14 was coined because it resembles a smaller version of the military M14 Rifle. The Mini-14 rifle employs an investment cast, heat-treated receiver and is mechanically similar to the M1 Garand rifle, with a self-cleaning, fixed-piston gas system.
 * Caliber: 5.56 x 45mm NATO
 * Effective range: 500 m
 * Weight: 6.4 lbs (2.9 kg)
 * Length: 37.2 in (94.6 cm)

 * Feed system: 20-round box magazine
 * Fire rate: semi-auto
 * -|Barret M82=The M82 is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by the American Barrett Firearms Manufacturing company. A heavy SASR (Special Application Scoped Rifle), it is used by many units and armies around the world. It is also called the "Light Fifty" for its .50 caliber BMG chambering.
 * Caliber: .50 BMG
 * Effective range: 1800 m
 * Weight: 30.9 lb (14.0 kg)
 * Length: 57 inches (145 cm)
 * Barrel length: 29 inches (73.7 cm)
 * Feed system: 10-round box magazine

 * -|Dozer blade=The Killdozer is armed with a dozer blade at the front of the vehicle, which it can use to attack things such as buildings.
 * Vehicle: Komatsu D355A
 * Crew: 1
 * Engine: SA6D155-4A
 * Speed: 7.9 mph (12.7 km/h)
 * Armor: In places this armor was over 1 foot (30 cm) thick, consisting of 5000-psi Quikrete concrete mix sandwiched between sheets of tool steel to make ad-hoc composite armor. This made the machine impervious to small arms fire and resistant to explosives: three external explosions and more than 200 rounds of ammunition fired at the bulldozer had no effect on it.

The Peacemaker
The Peacemaker is the personal vehicle of he Bullet Farmer, leader of the Bullet Farm. Formerly know as Major Kalashnikov, he served under Colonel Joe Moore during the Oil and Water Wars. After the collapse of society, Joe and Kalashnikov led a small band of survivors that gradually become larger over time. One day they spared the life of a fat man, who in return told them about a fortress that had abundant amounts of water. Attempts of trading women for water failed, and the two groups fought for the base.

Joe's group was suffering losses, but he, at some point came up with a plan: half of the men (led by Joe) would climbed from one side of the mountain face, while the others on the ground would distract the fort's defenders with an assault. The plan worked, Joe's group managed to get to the top and fought their way inside the base. Days passed, and everyday corpses of their men were hanged from the top. Just as they were leaving, believing the strike team to be dead, Kalashnikov and Joe appeared, having killed the defenders. Believing him to be immortal, they chanted "Immorta, immorta!", giving Joe his new name: Immortan Joe. Kalashnikov was given authority of an abandoned mine that would manufacture bullets and explosives. The place was named "The Bullet Farm", and so Kalashnikov became the Bullet Farmer.

During the chase after the War Rig, the Peacemaker was to only vehicle to safely traverse the swamp, thanks to its tracks. After being blinded by shrapnel, the Bullet Farmer and the crew opened fire with numerous guns. Max Rockatansky single-handedly destroys the Peacemaker in some unseen way.

Weapons
The Colt Single Action Army revolver (also known as the Peacemaker) is a single-action revolver developed in the 1870's for U.S. military use. It saw extensive use in combat in the Plains Indians Wars (finding its way into the hands of the Native Americans themselves) and in the wars with Mexico. The Bullet Farmer has two of these. The MP5K-PDW is a variant of the MP5 SMG. It was an upgrade to the MP5K by adding a synthetic folding stock to create a stable firing platform for more accurate fire, extending the barrel and put on three lugs to quick attach flash hiders or suppressors. The Bullet Farmer has two of these. Has Aimpoint M68 reflex sights mounted on Weaver rails.

The weapon thus intended as a sort of middle-ground between a hand grenade and a mortar. The weapon served through the Vietnam War, until the M203 was placed into service in 1969 and the M79 was gradually replaced, though it is still in use for some purposes it it has a longer range than the M-203.

X-Factors

 * -|Experience=The Bullet Farmer has participated in the Oil and Water Wars and the war against the Citadel's defenders. The Killdozer's rampage lasted only seven hours, and Marvin didn't engage the police that much; his primary targets were buildings.
 * -|Training=The Bullet Farmer was a Major in the Australian Military, and it is possible that the men of Bullet Farm have received training in the use of firearms. Marvin Heemeyer was a mechanic, giving him knowledge relating to vehicles, but not to firearm's handling or military tactics, and the like. Does this X-Factor matter in a car-vs-car fight, i am not sure, though it is better to have it than not, no?
 * -|Armor=The Killdozer's armor was able to shrug off three external explosion and over 200 bullets (though, at the end of the rampage, the radiatot was damaged and the engine was "leaking various fluids", so the Killdozer is not complete impervious to damage). The Peacemaker does not seemingly have any sort of armor, relying on the weapons of the crew that pilot it.
 * -|Logistics=An obvious edge to the Peacemaker. They're from the place called Bullet Farmand the Bullet Farmer is covered in bullets. Marvin's target's were buildings, not people, so i assume he did not have large quantities of bullets inside the Killdozer.
 * -|Mobility=Mobility is not the Killdozer's forte, as it is a bulldozer, with hunks of cement on it. The Peacemaker is lighter, faster and with a engine not meant for industrial machinery.
 * -|Mental Health=Marvin Heemeyer's mental health was pretty average (though most average people don't go on a rampage with a bulldozer, now do they?) and stuff. The Bullet Farmer, while more sane than Immortan Joe, went "kinda nuts" when he got blinded, dual wielding MP5's and AK's, while shouting about being the conductor of the choir of death.
