large occupancy vehicles?

okay i'm back in los santos and after doing the homecoming mission I have to take over los santos again from other gangs. I can now recruit up to 7 gang members I believe. which vehicle would be good for carrying a lot of people?

Only one, the Bus.

The homies will Not shoot from it.

 

Personally I have never used gang members. They just get in the way. Between the Molotav Cocktails, RPG Rocket and M4 rifle they are not needed. And the Police Motorcycle as a vehicle.

Yeah, I can't say I've ever chosen to use any back-up. In the situations where I'm instructed to, they last about twenty seconds before collapsing in a hail of bullet fire and a low IQ.

 

As said, the bus is good for moving groups but they won't shoot. That limits your occupancy to four - you in the driver's seat and three in the passenger seats. If you intend on taking over territories with them and you want to take a vehicle with you, you'll need something robust but fairly quick. Taking over territories can be a slow process as it is. Don't get too attached to it either, as you may lose your chosen car/van in the firefight.

 

Personally though, I'd go it alone. It's not too tricky.

the gang members do shoot but they have to be close enough to the enemy they don't shoot from long range.

I don't use gang members either, they're as dumb as a rock.

I used to go in an enforcer or a burrito with them and mess around in Restricted Area. Like everyone said, they won't last long and will die soon. If you want to finish gang wars quickly, grab some Molotov and throw at the enemies, it's the easiest I know.
