That leads to a very good point for all MV's. They were designed to meet the requirements of a soldier in a combat zone with bullets flying overhead and mines laying underfoot.

Buses aren't designed to take a direct hit in the side. The DUKW's also have to be tough enough to hit the water with the front at speed, I bet afterwards it could have gone on to the water and floated.
