whats the differences between the Canadian LAV3 RWS (light APC?) and the Australian ASLAV-PC, if i understand correctly isn't tonnie still working on the PC variant and it already has the RWS. and i thought the aussies got their lavs from the same place as the Canadians. we are even combining our work on the m113 upgrades as well.

ASLAV-PC is a LAV25, and the LAVIII RWS is much more similar to STRYKER, wich is entirely different from LAV25 :P

Different hulls, both based off the Swiss one though.

The ASLAV PC has a significantly smaller front with the drivers hole being lower down, the PC also has an increased cargo space with a raised rear and can carry more troops, don't think the PC model could be used for the RWS.

M113s aren't even made of steel and the armour is at most 1.5 inches and as little as .47 inches thick.

Hotrod is 100% correct in everything he's saying, believe me, im seeing it... the TLAVs have the slat armor cages, longer hulls... the LAV3's RWS are being used... so dont argue with Hotrod, he's 100% correct
