    Those side covers almost offer as much protection as the open hatch on a V100. Something we found out in Nam is you realy didn't want to be in there when with the turret hatch closed when you were firing the m-73. And, when you were firing an out side weapon you hoped the other guys missed...

    On the Back is a mount for an M-60 or 50 cal. In the center I would think that is the hatch for that gunner.

    You are correct we hopped for nothing more than a light rifle round or a hand gun round to hit our V if anything at all. We found out that this armour was not very strong and could stop very little. But, it does look cool and it can keep you in the zone to help others, but not for very long...

    B3.3t As a V driver in Nam a little armour is better than no armour. We had a RVN V hit one of our V's and it opened up the fuel tank. Big fire, one of our guys burnt bad, the others were OK. Welded a plate on the tank Repaint and it was back on the road. Had one it a land mine...
