M113 is still in use, I remember seeing videos of it in the gulf war.

Are you sure those are AMRAAMs? They look huge!

Yeah, I think those are AIM-120's(though I guess those would be MIM-120's since their launched from the ground) , they look like it, and I've heard something about it.

Here's a link http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/aim-120.htm

The part about the hummer mounted ones is about 1/2 way down the page

There are a huge amount of different types of hummers, several air defense types, one w/ more armor, ones w/ tows, mk19s, m-60s, m-2s, I've seen one w/ a .50 caliber sniper rifle (to destroy mines), medic ones, etc.

Will this take over the avenger system??? biggrin.gif

Probably not, since the avenger is more of a shorter range system, and this would be more of a medium range system.  If it was to replace anything it would probably be the HAWK sam(though the hawk sam is more of a fixed SAM site, versus this being more of a front line, mobile, site).

I've ridden in one when we went to one of the firepower demonstrations at McGuire (I prefer my Dad's staff Jeep though, yeah baby biggrin.gif)

those things need some better shock absorbers. you can stick missles on them, sniper rifles, machine guns, but I still hit my head on the ceiling every time we hit a pothole.

There are a huge number of variants on the basic HMMWV chassis.

That particular variant is known as the HMRAAM, and that is an AMRAAM FSPilot - an AMRAAM is 3.6m in length.

Wouldn`t a rocket take both of them out so the humvee has speed as an advantage?

Check out this humvee smile.gif

what's the make on that tank that is hit?

I have seen a Humvee ambulance once, so I know they have them. That was back in 1996 I think.
