An M113 is not practical for moving rapidly. It's armor is only thick enough to repel M-16 rounds. Who would shoot at one with an M-16? I'd want to be protected against an AK-47.

Who would shoot at one with an M-16? I'd want to be protected against an AK-47.I meant 5.56mm rounds. A fifty-caliber machine gun will chew up an M-113. Plus they're slow. One that runs good will go 35 mph down hill with a good tailwind.
