Honestly, if you mounted some of these on a couple 1kw e-bikes with fat tires and suspension for better off-roading, you could get some nice hit-and-run squads, assuming you could clear or detect area-denial weapons.

It’s not going to take over any countries, but a fast attack force that can clear rough terrain quickly is worth it’s weight in gold.
