M113 APC

[ArmySGT.]

Here are the specs as known.

I wish I could find the website again to give the author full credit. M113 known specs.pdf

The armor thickness and angles are given.

This doesn't include various armor bolt additions that make the M113A3 tougher though denying the amphibious capabilities in most cases.

Is the M113 the Guard is using in the current games the same or is it an upgrade with better armor or any of the " new spaced or reflective stuff"
Just as an aside I spent a lot of time ( as in the term beucoup) riding on top of and behind a bunch of sand bags instead of in the thing or riding as the commander.

The M113A3 has a belly anti mine armor and anti spall lining. The fuel has been removed from the crew compartment to the pods on the left and right rear. There are now additional bolt armor packages that are as varied as the country fielding them. The U.S. has been using the slat armor as protection against RPGs but hasn't fielded the ceramic bolt ons due to the increased fuel consumption and lower speed.

You're right. I saw that not long after I posted the link was in this thread. I have a bunch of M113 links and data saved in a folder for my eventual write up of hit tables.
