NEW RELEASE: M113 APC and ACAV Battle Pack Kits
The M113 was devloped in the early 1960 as a replacement for a whole series of earlier armored personnel vehicles. The main improvement over earlier vehicles was the development of new aluminum armor, that protect the vehicle’s occupants from small arms fire, while keeping the vehicle’s weight low enough to allow for air transport. The M113’s crew consists of a driver, seated in the front left side of the vehicle, and a vehcile commander, who occupied a central position. The M113 could carry up to 11 passengers and their equipment. The M113 was has been configured to a multitude of roles and remains the most common armored vehicle in use by US Army forces to this day.
