Flip answers aside, that is a cool project. Let us (being CD) know if we can help.
Be sure that I will. Once again, this is currently quite an amorphous project. Once it is more formed, I will update further. Updates will also be posted on www.theforceteam.com.

I would imagine that there is some protection around the gunner already. We will be getting the dimensions from her soon. My guess is that this is more of a hope from this one woman that we can design something in our "free time" while the rest of the military think tank is coming up with new, improved ways to kill people. I'm not sure if it is a "concern"--obviously, it is to her, but if it was a huge problem, then I believe it would have been addressed already. Hey, maybe we (and by we, I mean our team and whoever, if anyone, helps out) can pull off something really innovative and help some people out. The situation is still developing.
