Twin 40mm Duster were not heavy enough or have enough power to run over anything substantial like a 300 Chrysler LeBaron.

When that sucker gets stuck, they might need two M88s to get it out!!
Handy if you have roads, bridges, frozen steppes...
Does an AVLB work with that weight?
You go first, think I’ll walk...
