Looks nice. You would probably use bodygryos, CFrame, all that other stuff. However, there is the issue of part count. It would probably cause a lot of lag with all those parts moving around. I hate the LGBT. Those laser guided battle tanks are just too damn powerful.

When a player sits on a seat, a Weld object is inserted into the seat. I believe the Part0 is the character's Torso. Use the ChildAdded event and then copy the tool into the character. i.e. seat.ChildAdded:connect(function(child) game.ServerStorage.Tool:clone().Parent = child.Part0.Parent end)
