Anything can be made plenty strong enough if you have a military budget to pay for it. But a straight tube design with a u-joint or tracta joint on the end is bound to be a whole lot cheaper (or stronger for the same money) than that offset "turret" mechanism. It's a good design. It's just not the best design for light trucks.
