Metal Shark 28 Defiant Response Boat: Bite This!

Officially, the Metal Shark 28 Defiant is known as "RB-S," which stands for Response Boat—Small, but that's a pretty boring name for an all-aluminum attack craft that sports a pair of 50-cals and has an armored cabin designed for four to six rifle-toting aqua-grunts. So let's just call a spade a spade: this is one bad-a** boat. The Metal Shark is produced for governmental agencies ranging from the Coast Guard, to law enforcement, to fire departments, to... um, they'd rather not say. But if it's any indication of this boat's designed purpose, note that the 28 is sized and weighted so it can be shoved into a C-130 cargo plane, and flown wherever Uncle Sam decides he needs one or two or 20. And although only 35 of these boats are presently in the field, 477 are currently on order.
