There are many variants, with and without the mounted turret:
It's small enough (tiny, really) that you can park it in a 1-car garage, and they were widely sold so there's actually a lot of them on the market. You can literally have this as a personal vehicle, for less than the average US annual income.
i just want a BRDM man, they look great, are amphibious, have their own tire inflation system, cabin filtration, 4 big wheels and 4 small ones on a chain drive system
Looks like I could buy one for $55k (AU) - would be kind of fun to have actually and cheaper than a lot of new 4wds. Pity some wowsers had issues with it running around with a machine gun, I feel like that'd reduce traffic problems...

How you gonna make this and leave out the absolute GOAT?

It truly is the GOAT. All the other ones look bougie and out of touch by comparison. Toyota Hilux with Cold War-era gun screwed on gets shit done.

Same here, I'd much rather have one of these as a personal vehicle than anything tracked.

You sir are in luck. The Daimler Ferret can be had for about US$40k and is street legal in many places, though I expect the maintenance cost is prohibitive.

I think there's an older MrBeast video where they drive one of these around Wilmington
