Standard M113s carried a squad of troops into combat and shielded them from small arms fire. A rear ramp lowered once the vehicle stopped, letting soldiers exit behind the hull without being exposed to enemy fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ACAV was an up-gunned version. It mounted a .50-caliber machine gun with a shield over the commander's hatch, along with two M-60 machine guns with shields near the rear cargo hatch to provide added fire support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal construction with some plastic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating turret, elevating cannon, and accurate diecast metal hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving tracks running over detailed rotating wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad-printed markings and placards that resist fading and peeling, unlike decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer clear cover shows some dents at the corners from long-term storage.
