Buffalo MPRC vehicle

This protected route clearing vehicle is so called the Buffalo MPRC vehicle it is 26.9 feet long, 8 feet wide, and is 9.75 feet tall (not including turret splash shields.)
 The Buffalo is equipped with a mechanical communication and in addition to the driver and co-driver, has seating for 12 extra passengers.  Each bench is prepared with a 4-point safety harness. The vehicle is operational with a single aft mounted access door, as well as six roof-mounted hatches in the passenger compartment.The armor package provided by the Buffalo provides all round coverage against 7.62mm ammunition (the glass is 7.62mm multi-strike resistant.)  Ballistic defense is provided for the radiator, tires, battery compartment, fuel tanks, engine and transmission.  The V-shaped hull is specifically intended to redirect the blast out and away from the vehicle's passenger area.  While the blast may disable the vehicle, its passenger will not be hurt, and the vehicle can be recovered and repaired.
