About

of the new round, the Bradley 25 MM HEIT is also very effective, with a killing burst radius of five meters. - In Vietnam, we modified the M113, eventually giving birth to the Armored Cavairy Vehicle (ACAV). At first it came out with a .50 cal. machine gun. Later an armored shroud was added around the 50 cal. Later, two M60 7.62 MGs with armor plating on the mount were added as wing guns. A variation of the ACAV was used by the Vietnamese, and turned out to be very useful. Between 11 June and 30 September, 1962, which was soon after the Vietnamese fielded the M113, the original two companies killed 502 Viet Cong and took 184 prisoners at a cost to themselves of 4 dead and 9 wounded.", With the loss of the Sheridan, there are rumblings across the armor community that the ACAV may be resurrected for use in the 82nd Airborne Division.
