Most of the design work was done by Germany’s Thyssen-Krupp AG, who had already developed the TAM light tank for Argentina. The idea of an APC based on the TAM chassis was the idea of the Argentine Army, and this was done to decrease the cost of the VCTP as well as the cost of maintenance by producing a vehicle that had a large percentage of parts that were the same as the TAM. It also meant that mechanics trained to work on the TAM could be quickly trained to also work on the VCTP, and a driver who could drive a TAM could drive a VCTP. The Argentine Army originally intended to replace all of their APCs and many of its scout vehicles with the VCTP, for a total of 350 VCTPs and VCPCs; however, only 210 (of all versions) were actually produced, due to budgetary problems. Production was carried out in Argentina by TAMSE, in a plant that was fitted out under the supervision of technicians from Thyssen-Krupp. The VCTP is part of a family of vehicles, including the VCPC command post carrier and the VCTM mortar carrier. (There were to be more members of this family produced, but they died a premature budgetary death.) The VCTP The general layout of the VCTP is very much like that of another German vehicle, the Marder IFV. The small, 1-man turret incorporates a simplified version of the fire control system of the Marder; in fact, many systems of the VCTP use simplified versions of those found in the Marder. The main armament is a 20mm Rheinmetall Rh-202 autocannon, as found on the Marder 1A3 IFV; a pintle-mounted machinegun is found at the commander’s hatch. (Some sources list the autocannon used as the 20mm Oerlikon KAA. Most sources, including most reliable sources, say the autocannon on production vehicles is indeed an Rh-202, though early prototypes did mount a KAA.) The Rh- 202, being a dual-feed weapon, has ammunition belts feeding from both sides of the autocannon; on the VCTP, 100-round belts are normally carried already loaded into the VCTP as ready ammunition. Two more belts are in the turret, with the rest of the ammunition being stowed in the front of the passenger compartment. The VCTP also has a remote control machinegun over the rear of the passenger compartment, again a feature found on the Marder. The commander has an IR night sight, and functions as both the commander and gunner; he has a coincidence rangefinder and a small ballistic computer. The commander’s controls for the autocannon are situated so that he can fire them even when his head and shoulders are outside of the hatch. The commander’s hatch is ringed with vision blocks, with the night vision head to the front and slightly to the left of his hatch. On each side of the hull, just to the rear of the driver’s compartment, there is a cluster of four smoke grenade launchers, with the grenades being manually fired by the commander. The driver is on the left front hull, with the commander on the right side of the turret. The driver has a standard vision block to his front and two wide-angle vision blocks on either side of that block; the center vision block can be removed and replaced with a night vision block that comes with the VCTP and is normally kept in a case on the left wall of the driver’s compartment. The suspension of the VCTP is the same as that of the TAM, which gives the VCTP a reasonable cross-country ride and good road ride. The engine is a German-designed MTU MB-833 diesel engine, developing 720 horsepower. The VCTP has a surprisingly large pair of fuel tanks in the walls of the passenger compartment, and a pair of reserve fuel tanks (200 liters each) may be fitted to either side of the hull rear. The VCPC is amphibious with 3 minutes of preparation; this preparation consists of the deployment of a trim vane and the turning on of a bilge pump. A swimming VCPC does, however, have alarmingly little freeboard. The passenger compartment is surprisingly roomy, though less so when carrying its normal complement of 10 troops. Bench seats are found on either side of the compartment, with a squad leader’s individual seat at the front of the passenger compartment which faces to the rear. Entry and exit is by a door in the rear of the hull; there are also small roof hatches (large enough for two troops to stand in each of them) on the hull deck over the center of the passenger compartment. Three firing ports are found on each side of the passenger compartment; these can accept the individual small arms used by the Argentine Army, including machineguns. There are no firing ports at the rear of the vehicle, but there is a vision block, and a periscope is also a part of the rear machinegun turret. Vision blocks are just above these firing ports. The VCPC The VCPC differs from the VCTP only in the lack of a turret and in the interior arrangements. As a command post carrier, the VCPC carries up to six radios (which may be short, medium, or long-range), map boards, and drawers and compartments for stowing the various equipment needed by command post personnel. An additional AM-band very long-range radio is often carried, as well as one or more rugged military-type laptop computers. (For the stats below, I have included the AM radio and one laptop.) Additional hand-held observation devices, ranging from binoculars to a thermal imager, are carried. (I have included a hand-held image intensifier and thermal imager in the price below, though they are not listed, as they are not integrated equipment.) The driver’s compartment is the same; the commander’s station is simply a hatch where the turret would normally be, with a pintle-mounted machinegun. This machinegun is sometimes found with a gun shield to the front or even all-around gun shields. The rear remote- control machinegun of the VCTP is deleted on the VCPC. Roof hatches of the same type as on the VCTP are found over the passenger compartment in the same place as on the VCTP (just to the rear of center.) The smoke grenade launchers and firing ports of the VCTP are retained. Due to the additional equipment in the passenger compartment of the VCPC, the capacity of the passenger compartment is reduced to six, and the rear-facing squad-leader’s seat is deleted.

Early Australian M-113A1s were stock, but were quickly outfitted in a manner similar to ACAVs (an M-2HB surrounded by a light armor shield, and a pair of M-60 machineguns on either side of the passenger compartment deck hatch equipped with gun shields to the front). However, soon after the Australian Army began operating in Vietnam, they began modifying their M-113A1s to better suit conditions, improve firepower, and improve crew and passenger protection. For budgetary reasons, the Australians stayed with the M-113A1 version as a base design; many Australian troops also felt that the M-113A1 was good enough for their purposes and that buying the M- 113A2 version was unnecessary. However, later Australian upgrades have made the base M-113A1s into vehicles that are in most cases better than the M-113A2 and with later upgrades, better than the M-113A3. Australian soldiers were at first ambivalent about the M-113A1. But their philosophy is best summed up in the words of one trooper, who said, “A second-class ride is better than a first-class walk.” Standard M-113A1s The stock version of the M-113A1 and the M-113A1 ACAV’s statistics and some of the information about them is repeated below from the US Tracked APCs page.

    In the crowded streets of Mogadishu sits a downed Blackhawk surrounded by a tyrannical warlord and his drug-crazed warriors. In the villages of Iraq lurk insurgents led by the ruthless al-Qaeda. In the arid desert of the Bakaw Valley is a terrorist training camp. In the mountains of Tora Bora lurks Osama bin Laden and his fanatical followers. Against these desperate foes are the most advanced armies ever created. But after the smoke from the smart bombs has cleared, it’s the infantry who must go in and finish the job. These are today’s threats. These are Modern Ops. Modern Ops lets you recreate the battles of the modern world, from regular mili- tary operations to special forces actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, and more.

    Deep Web Secret Deep Web Secret Automatic Pistols These weapons use Guns(Pistol)/TL7 skill. AMT Automag .44 AutoMag (Holdout -2) AMT Original Automag: A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the original Automag by Harry Sanford. When it was introduced in the seventies this was the first pistol to fire high powered magnum cartridges. Clint Eastwood takes a break from his .44 Magnum to use the .44 Automag in one of his Dirty Harry films. It has been out of production for close to two decades now, but after Harry Sanford died in early 1999 the AMT factory was sold off, and the new owners decided to run a limited series of original Automags in the .44 AMP caliber. These guns will be exact copies of the original guns. This may also mean that they will only function properly with full powered loads, and that some parts (most notably the extractor) will be somewhat fragile. Most likely these guns will seldom be fired anyway, as they are instant collectors items due to their reputation and their flashy, sleek and slightly futuristic looks. Should these guns be used they will look very intimidating and at the same time classy, combined with a lot of recoil... The Automag is a recoil operated pistol, is made entirely of stainless steel, and these new guns are of excellent quality, unlike some of the last pistols made in the seventies. They are very accurate. The magazine holds seven rounds of .44 AMP ammo. AMT Automag III (Holdout -2) A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the brainchild of Harry Sanford, creator of the original automag.

The Argentines have 54 of these vehicles on hand at present, though they do not currently have plans to manufacture more. In this role, the turret is removed, and in its place is a hump-backed rear with a set of large hatches, which are opened when the mortar is to be fired. What is normally the rear cargo area is taken up by the mortar, a turntable built into the floor of the vehicle, a special bipod and sight assembly designed for the vehicle, and ammunition racks. However, the VCTM carries only a limited amount of ammunition and charges internally (like almost all mortar carriers) and during most extended firing missions, the VCTM is fed by crewmembers manning ammunition stacks and charge containers outside the rear doors of the vehicle, who attach the charges to the rounds according to the range required and then pass them by hand to the assistant gunner (the crewmember who actually drops the round down the tube).
