Armadillo
Notes: In the late 1970s, Guatemala was unable to obtain new armored vehicles from the US due to an embargo, so they decided to develop their own APC/Reconnaissance vehicle, the Armadillo. The commander and driver sit at the front of the vehicle, with windows to their front and side and a twin hatch over their position. The troop compartment is in the center, and there are three firing ports and one door on each side, as well hatches on the roof. On most versions of the Armadillo, there is a cupola with an M-2HB on the roof over the front of the troop compartment and an M-60 machinegun to the rear of the troop compartment; but some have a one-man manually operated turret with an M-2HB and M-60 machinegun. Note that the floor of this vehicle is AV 3.
