The Growler was built for the USMC to fit in the Osprey (it's an M-151, re-jigged) - only trouble is that it's so narrow, and the CofG is so high that it tips over. It can't pull the skin off a rice pudding, and you could build one yourself for about $10,000, but Uncle Sam pays over twelve times as much.
