Nahh, I dont think they would be that stupid. There would be a worldwide condemnation and no doubt riots if they used one of those on protestors.

BTW, trivia: this was actually the exact same gun (prop) used in both movies, but the stocks were changed for T2 from an M60-style stock (Jesse's) to a "chainsaw" type carry handle (Arnie's; notice how both actors are holding the gun differently)."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.

Maybe the idea is a rapidly-deployable light AA weapon. Driven as quickly as the frame would allow to an active location such as the refueling points during the Iraq invasion, the buggy stops, and perhaps lateral stabilizers are extended. A camo-net is tossed over most of it. Anything thin-skinned (including hovering chinooks, blackhawks, even the Apache) would be fair game. The drivers assist the gunner.
But overall, I've never quite understood why these armed vehicles have seen iterations from so many countries. Maybe there is a romance associated with their use in WW2 Africa - The famous SAS picture:

All of the above pretty much rules out any kind of armoured vehicle or large truck.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.
