I'm always up for innovative thinking however, so let's see wether this thing makes it to anything resembling a functioning prototype.

I'm sure the seat could be armoured easily enough - it's my right leg I'd worry about. "Your left leg is fine. It's a lovely leg. No, I've got nothing against your left leg. Unfortunately, neither have you".
