It has to be said, the XM913 is a horrifying gun. What barbarism possessed them to make this? I can only imagine what it would be like on an LAV.

Mfw Canada contributed more to WW1 than the US ever did.
Let’s just ignore the part where the Geneva Convention was made partially due to the stuff we did
Americans flex about the nuclear bombs, but that was a war crime more than anything.
But yeah, Canada is definitely overlooked.
Even the funny mustache Austrian man said he was impressed with how Canada did during WW1
But yeah, Canada was viewed as one of the “minor countries” for the wars, but we contributed so much

Gunner sight?
I feel like I had asked at the time but I can’t remember, here’s some photos to help give an idea, the sight is directly to the left side if you’re at the back.
I think it might just be for passengers/commander, I could be wrong though
Maybe even just for the radio operator
From what ive read it might be a LAV 25 not an LAV III but im not sure as I havent personally seen the inside of either of them.
Regardless I really enjoy LAV’s

Oh that’s entirely possible.
I did a quick look for the interior of an LAV-III online but couldn’t find anything.
I do have some books at home so I might take a quick look in those.
But yeah, apart from that, LAVs are pretty cool.

My apologies for being a while, forgot I had to attend something the day I said I was gonna get the book and then I just completely lost track.
So here’s the book and what info I could find.
Got the book while at Aquino Tank fest back in July.
But here’s the info and a photo

So that means this spot in particular is for the Surveillance Operator, which fits the description in the book

Going by the book it would make that LAV an LAV-II/Coyote
Now that is a pole but like the Jap vehicle added sadly we won’t get it to extend that much.

We had one of those with the 2A4M CAN, didn’t we? it was removed.
Maybe some historical ones that are not in service but not the service emblems.

Some things I have found quite recently, and will find likely ATI for primary source images:
Somerford Tankbuster - a Dodge Armadillo rebuilt, and armed with a 6 pdr Hotchkiss gun by Canadian Army Overseas. Armoured cabin for driver, with exposed gun and crew.
20mm Equipped Armoured Car - No photos presently, but data held in RG24. Likely this:
15 cwt with Quad Bren - mentioned it earlier, but it’s a seated, armoured mount with 4 Bren guns with drum magazines. Likely based on this:
These are a bit more goofy, but still a some value if you’re looking for variety. Just wanted to have some fun with it.
Thanks,

Also here’s another book I bought when I got the other book
Shows off, well like the title says, various Leopard models and what changes were made
The RCAC book I showed earlier also shows off the various changes that Canada has done to the Centurion over the years that we had used it

Oh? Those are? Also, does it say anything about what Mk 5 Centurion variant Canada used? As I found some things that say it is 5/2 but I can’t verify it.
