LAV 25

LAV-25 is an eight-wheeled armoured personnel carrier (APC) based on the Mowag Piranha family of armoured fighting vehicles used by the United States Marine Corps. Powered by a Detroit Diesel Turbo-Charged engine, they are 4 wheel drive (rear wheels) transferable to 8-wheel drive. These vehicles are also amphibious, meaning they have the ability to "swim", but are limited to non-surf bodies of water (No oceans). While engaged in amphibious operations, the maximum speed is approximately 12 MPH. Typical land speeds are approximately 85 MPH either 4 or 8-wheel drive, however fuel economy decreases in 8-wheel drive. The vehicles operate on diesel fuel (JP-5), and take 3 weights of lubricants to keep it in running condition. They are equipped with a M242 25 mm cannon, two M240 7.62mm machine guns, and 2 4-barrel launchers usually loaded with smoke canisters. The crew is three, and four passengers with combat gear.
