I haven't heard of what it is yet, I would love a pic - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 08:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Suppose we could just use an Aussie Army or equivilant until we do know? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 08:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pictures here might help in identification. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 08:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I cant identify it, it looks similar to a w:M113, but also an w:ASLAV :( - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 09:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
M113 sounds plausible, ASLAV is wheeled, not tracked. –Doldrums(talk) 09:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I realise that but the lamps on the M113 aren't quite right. The front of the ASLAV is more correct but the wheels arent LOL - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 10:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the beeb has video. –Doldrums(talk) 10:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly a M113 - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 20:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

title[edit]

APC is not unusual or uncommon and is far more descriptive than armoured vehicle. --SVTCobra 23:39, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never heard of it before... maybe it's just for an international audience. Basically anything that is not US or UK or UN is strange. Sure it's more descriptive, but not incorrect, plus it has a picture now on the main page. APC to me is an Antigen-presenting cell or activated protein C. This page shows that it is surely not a unique abbreviation... --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 23:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
