How about more plates at the machine guns to proteck our solders...Engineer who made M-113 where is your brain?

It's not called the Gavin. The only one who's calling it that is the madman Mike Sparks, known around here as dynmicpara.
Even if they completely redesign it, it'll still suffer from being an M113. Even the Norwegian upgrades (Widely held to be the best ones) are still considered to be quite far from ideal.

The Turks totally redesigned the Gavin. It's virtually a new vehicle. Did the Canadians follow their principles?

I don't see why some people here compare tanks with APCs. APCs aren't meant to actually fight,they are meant to transport infantry faster than legs do, with some degree of protection.Guns on them are an afterthought.
I took part in a drill once,our mech .inf. div. was attacked by tanks.The whole point was to safely keep the M113 out of sight and try to harass the tanks on foot,with LAW fire on their tracks and sniping any head that dared show.Only guerilla,only on foot.Anything else is suicide.

@Ralroost No! ...but how owuld that actually be done? Mine incidents are hard to overcome!

I was a M113 operator while in the US Army in the early 80s. Fun vehicle. I would like to play with the newer versions!

The M113 had the Chrysler 413ci gas engine in it when it was first introduced to the military.It replaced the M79 and I was on active duty in Germany in 1961 when that happened.Ron G

Have they made any innovations to prevent broken backs/legs from IED blasts under the vehicle?
APC are great troop movement until you have a bad hang over darn there terrible :) Maybe new technology could bring this old work horse back with better mine detections.Oh why Oh why is here no money going to that purpose ? Well of to upload Canada day greeting from Afghanistan.

Stay off the roads--tracks rule.
Humvees and Strykers are death traps.

I agree it seem more money is spen on them and less on prevention of IED.
