Developed in the middle of the 1980's, at the height of US defense spending to battle Reagan's "Evil Empire", the Cadillac Gage Stingray Light Tank was expected by many to be chosen as the light tank to replace the inherently defective M551 Sheridan in service with the Airborne Divisions. Fast, lightly armored, and well armored with a 105mm cannon and two machine guns, this low profile... [click here for more] |

Not all armored vehicles are in the hands of the military. Some ends up in the hands of police and civilian entities, for good or bad.
In this booklet, we examine the very first financial services armored car, the Bellamore Armored Motor Bank Car. Built in 1910, it was the first armored vehicle built to deal with the transportation of large amounts of currency. It was also unusual for the fact that... [click here for more] |

Ever wonder what the first modern armored military vehicle was? Was it the tank, which first appeared in 1916? Or maybe the armored car, which first appeared in 1902? Not at all. It was an armored road train, a tractor and several trailers, all armored, which were sent to South Africa to protect supply columns in the Second Boer War. The armored road train first appeared in 1899, three years before... [click here for more] |

For decades, the US Army's MPs have gotten the short end of the stick. Given the mission of protecting the rear areas of any military ground operation, they have long been forced to rely on deploying unarmored HMMWVs with only one of the Heavy Squad's weapons mounted on the roof. After land mines destroyed a few Hummers in Kosovo, they got some shiny new M1114 uparmored HMMWVs, but only a few. They... [click here for more] |

What the Hell is a Cashuat? Sounds Like a Nut or Something
It does, doesn't it? Armor projects originating in nations traditionally considered "Third World" tend to fascinate me. This happens to be one of them. Old surplus military trucks with armor slapped on is common, even with First World militaries. They were commonly used by the US forces in Vietnam, and are still slapped together today...

While the Germans are the most famous users of armed motorcycles, thanks to their MG34 armed BMW cycle/sidecar combinations, they were by no means the first to come up with the concept. The first to use machinegun-toting motorcycles were the British, who employed them as part of the Motor Machine Gun Corps and its successor units from 1915 to 1918.
They mounted the water-cooled Vickers medium machinegun... [click here for more] |

The Russian Revolution was by no means a simple thing. The February 1917 revolution was followed months later by the far better known November Revolution that put the communists into power. But overthrowing the central government does not give one central control.

What the Hell is an Indian Pattern Carrier? I Never Saw That in Any History Book.
It is no surprise that you haven't seen it in any history books. The Indian Pattern Carriers are simply a horribly unappreciated vehicle of the war.

In the beginning, Japan had to buy foreign tanks to build an armor force because the nation did not have the industrial capacity or technical skill to manufacture its own. There was a single British Mk. IV, a handful of Whippets, a smatering of Carden Loyd tankettes, and a trio of Medium Cs. But the Imperial Japanese Army realized that the only way to gain the expertise to make their own armored vehicles... [click here for more] |

First is rarely best. While the Sumida Wolseley Sokosha was the first armored vehicle produced by Japan, it was quickly recognized there was a need for significant improvement in the vehicle's mobility. Between 1930 and 1932, many projects were undertaken in the effort to make those improvements, until the first tracked vehicles began rolling out of the factories. As the Type 92 tankettes and Type... [click here for more] |

The first gun of the new series! And a new gun at that. We start out with one of the first, if not the first military rifle to be fitted with a burst limiter.

This candidate was the Breda Modello 1935 Presa Gas Rifle. The weapon was used pre-WW2... [click here for more] |
