I don't know much about military shiz but there's not much protection up front for the driver/gunner?

I don't get it, its probably has 6 wheel drive like other trucks that aren't all open and do have some sort of protection, that looks like soldier target practise.

It will have loads of armour and stuff for roadside bombs but yeah it does look like a bit of a bullet magnet!

kind of looks like a bigger extended version of a Jackel.
Theres more of a threat of ied's/mines than actually getting hit with a round whilst in a vehicle.

would a sniper not just take two carefully placed shots and easily render this completely useless and waste the life of two good men?!

Or am i missing the point


Is it just something that is safer thna "walking" when on patrol

probably no worse than a defender for small arms fire tbh, lets face it, the side of a landy isn't going to stop a 7.62

Surely anything st slow the velocity of fire, or deflay shrapnel is a good thing though

All that was, was a aircraft tug with a polyresin bodykit

Now ask yourself how exactly they fitted 12 marines in there? Along with enough room for the computers that they monitor them with.
