Rhodesian "Cougar" early MRAP with 36 shotgun barrels fixed around the vehicle demonstrated in 1978

0:00 One of several types of mine-resistant vehicles indigenously designed built in Rhodesia since the early 1970s, the Cougar features a characteristic V-shaped hull designed to deflect mine blasts as well as easily replaceable front and rear wheel assemblies that were located away from the hull in order to decrease blast proximity to the crew if one of the wheels triggered a mine. It was also fitted with a soft top in order to prevent overpressure should there be a blast inside the hull.

0:26 To defend against ambushes, the vehicle is fitted with 36 electrically fired shotgun barrels with nine each front, rear, left and right, installed in the manner of a volley gun. Each barrel is reported to be loaded with 250 steel subprojectiles and the effect of the firing can be seen in the latter part of the footage with the left side barrels discharged towards a farm building.
