I wonder what the life expectancy of this soldier would be in an actual battle ?

You mean High speed ,light assault Vehicle,.....

Think about it. You have a large caliber gun that will have a recoil. Your Armor is minimal at best. I think any Marksman First Class could hit this guy below the Armor and that wouldn't end well.

Your adversaries would determine the tactical efficacy of such a vehicle. Zombies, for example, don't seem to be particularly adept with small-arms...though I don't see the limited ammunition carrying capability as providing a sufficient number of rounds...typically squeeze-trigger-sprayed...to counter a crowd of charging un-dead, with each one usually requiring a head-shot to stop. Accuracy may be a problem too while moving, even if the weapon is on single-fire.

I missed the mention of the Post Apocalyptic aspect, I was focused on what looked like something out of WW 1.

Ace are those am boxes in the front under the gun? Still not enough but better than on foot.

That's what I assume, but I don't see any belt. Reloading on the fly could be exciting.

Looks like there might be a gas tank behind the pilot too. Maybe has a little one-lunger for extra speed?

I'm also guessing that "x-ray vision" may be one of the prerequisites for anybody assigned to train on it. Might help to be able to aim through the armor plate.

And you gotta love a guy who wears a bowler to a zombie encounter.

Yes the whole thought of this is funny. Almost looks like he is trying to look out the slot for the barrell to aim and drive. Looks to be a gas tank in the middle of the frame as I see a cap of some sort. Maybe it is a big canteen to hold the liquor so you get the guts to try and use it.      I think the recoil may help in retreating.

Nobody could hit him, they would be laughing too hard !
