iirc thats because batteries are too heavy/dont last long enough for military work so they had to power it with essentially a go-kart engine, making it almost as loud as a truck and ruining the stealth of any infantry unit its attached to like a humvee would. infantry often depend on stealth to maneuver into position so thats a no go for now but it wouldnt matter as much to police probably.
