I recall the "good ol' days" back around 1980 or so when Fred vanSickle in Acton (Collector's Source) was importing and selling Ferrets (no turret).
I went for a ride with him with my arm nonchalantly draped over a .30 cal GPMG mounted on the open hull.
Rode around the town of Acton...no problem...God help us if we did that today!
