ORIGINAL: jwarrenw13 Okay, after researching the EM-50, I realize I was wrong. It was "heavily armored" though I can't find the specs. I would think it might need an armored rating like a light tank or maybe a Bradley Fighting Vehicle at least. EM 50 Excerpt: Based on a GMC 1976 GMC 26' Palm Beach motorhome, it was heavily armored (including roll-away shutters to protect the windows and other sensitive areas from weapons fire) and armed with machine-guns, a cannon, flamethrowers, a multiple rocket launcher, and assorted infantry weapons. It also featured a fully equipped communications and navigation suite and it could operate as an armored personnel carrier where personnel could enter and exit the vehicle by a power operated ramp at the back. The vehicle was shown to be impervious to cannon fire when it was shot at by a cannon mounted in a tower. Designed to prowl urban areas without attracting attention, the EM-50 could quickly deploy its weapons before an enemy knew it was there or realized what it was. Good thing Guderian and Rommel didn't have any of these. [X(] [:D] They would have still lost though. [:)]
