Is it just me, or does that look really, really uncomfortable?  And counter-productive to the end goal of shooting someone?

Notice that the guy in the center background has a much bigger gun than everyone else. Presumably his Segway skills are top-notch.

I bet he's like a fighter pilot, and the ladies go wild for him.

Wow, he is the elite ninja sniper of the segway shock troopers.

Seriously, I have no idea what kind of guns those could be, even a 9mm mp5 would dwarf one of those things.

How are they supposed to turn and shoot at the same time? Hopefully someone more Segway-savvy can enlighten me.

Those things go a maximum of like 3mph, you'd be better off just walking and shooting.  At least that way you could move sideways, and you know, over terrain that isn't completely flat.

They aren't actual Segways. They're Chinese-military-grade knockoffs.

Presumably these Segways go much faster, and in case of an accident, there is a moderate chance of the rider being impaled on the handlebars.
