I am envisioning something the size of a quadrunner but heavily armored and carrying a flame thrower or other kind of mass attack weapon, perhaps a kind of shotgun shooting tacks....probably battery powered so would be very quiet. What would be the legality of using such a weapon?

Probably about 5 to ten years....
Seriously, a young girl here in Ga did time for making some sort of explosive device she was just playing around with in the woods. The govt doesn’t like competition. There is a big difference between knowing how to make something and actually doing it before shtf.
 
Ouch! The stated purpose for said vehicle will be light maintenance and fire control :D
 
Flamethrower: Probably legal. I have made custom flamethrowers (cannons and handheld, propane with a free flow valve, remote activation, or activation on a timer/programmable Arduino) and never had a problem. You need a permit from the city/county for a PUBLIC DISPLAY only. Bands get permits. I had people pull over along the road while I was launching 40 ft flames and 20 ft diameter fireballs, and then the cops showed up, they thought it was fine, not a public display because I wasn't advertising, just testing stuff.

Shotgun loaded with tacks? Makes no sense. Load the shotgun with shotgun shells.

Remote controlled tank from 4 wheeler: would have to be a big 4 wheeler to carry any sort of armor whatsoever. You would need to cover the propane tanks. It would be simple to use DC linear actuators to directly move the handlebar, but steering response would be slow. Another for the throttle. I'd leave it in first gear lol.

Much MUCH more difficult to design a tank from scratch. Maybe you could back-half a snowmobile, or replace the engine with a big DC motor and battery. Put some wheels in place of the skis...

Sounds like a lot of fun, right up until the barn is on fire and your car is blasted full of holes. Still, maybe worth it.
 
Seems that the same funds could be better spent on simply making some homemade land mines and booby traps and being done with it.
