good luck jonnietheied iv played in a squad with you before you were awesome and realistic.
Well, Thanks I try to be as realistic as possible, although I do have myself some of those "Rambo moments" lol

Yes, Well first for the bike, The 150 lbs was just an exemple, I wouldnt want it to be a little nuke either. I think if a slower bike, then definitly just little less then car bomb. But if it behaves like a normal bike (say 30-50 pounds of high explosives in the side bags) it should be half a car's damage, if not less. I cant tell really without testing. Plus in PR a motorbike is pretty fn LOUD and easy to shoot.. so it should still have some range I think..
As for fact, I do not remember if it was british or australian troops, but they seized a suicide bomber before he could detonate and described the bike. Said it had around 158 lbs of high explosives on the frame, and a small det. switch on the handle. Was in the news though many saw it.
I'll try to find the story it wasn't long ago.
EDIT: There you go

"Sergeant Noel Connolly rugby-tackled a suicide bomber pushing a motorbike packed with more than 150lb of deadly explosives."
"The Taliban fanatic had been pushing the bike towards Sgt Connolly's Army base when the Marine ordered him to stop and saw a telltale toggle switch attached to the handlebars."
Looks like indeed the bike was too heavy and failed, terry had to push it to the base and was too greedy to go off outside FOB lol... Maybe 50 pounds of explosives? Yea lets go with that for our model. lol

Yea but the new bikes are different. They are loud as hell, easy to shoot the driver and passenger cant drive by... I think making a few bikes bombs would re-equillibrate things for the bike transport, as it would scare more the soldiers who hear it nearby. Instead of running out in the middle of the street and shooting at it KNOWING it cant do shet for defense.Which is I think everyone will agree, not realistic...
