M113

Description

A tracked, amphibious, armored personnel carrier. There is a hatch on the left front deck for the driver, a hatch in the center of the deck for the commander - which has a weapons mount (C) - a large, rear drop ramp for access to the vehicle interior, and a large rectangular hatch on the rear deck. There are two other weapons mounts (P): one on either side of the large rear deck hatch. These are used by passengers standing up in the open large hatch; however, no weapons are provided.

If no passengers are carried, the vehicle can carry an additional 1.925 tonnes of cargo.
