The LVT 7 carries 14 combat equipped marines. LVTs are not really
APC's, they are aluminum & a .50 cal will make swiss cheese of them, in
fact a 7.62 rd will penetrate at close range. (arm = 3?) The Landraider
& rhino are undersize vs theoretical load of 10 SM, it becomes more
apparent when you look at them in "full scale" 40k.

My opinions are my own, my employer knows nothing about it.
