Chromebook Volume 1 Description

 * When the great unwashed come knocking at your door, you'll want to have a Riot-VIII waiting for them. The Riot-VIII is a state of the art crowd control/suppression vehicle. Enhancements over the old generation of riot control vehicles include: fully fire-resistant hull designed to shrug off Molotov cocktails; water cannon with 10 minutes of spray and a new steam function (pat. pend.) that will break up the most determined riot with only minor scalds and burns; fully cybered control system including a satellite uplink that allows the board of directors to handle a situation with that personal touch. And this new generation of crowd control vehicles is capable of operating in the most rugged of urban environments for days if necessary. Riot at your downtown facility? Call 1-800-ARASAKA now and our representative can have vehicles in operation within 120 minutes or less. You have our word. We'll be there.
