Armoured personnel carriers (APCs) are light
armoured fighting vehicles for the transport of
infantry. They usually have only a machinegun
? although variants carry [recoilless rifle]
?s, ATGMs, or mortar
?s. They are not really designed to take part in a direct-fire battle, but to carry the troops to the battlefield safe from shrapnel and
ambush. They may have
wheels or
tracks. Examples include the American M-113 (tracked) and the Russian BRD series (wheeled).
