Used for convoy escort duties it had both an M60 (left front) and a Browning 50 caliber Machine-gun mounted on the pedestal in the back. The 50 cal. was found to cause instability in vehicle control when firing left or right while in motion, and was later replaced by the standard M60 Machine-gun. “The Ugly Duck” and “LIL Surfer” both C Company V100 Armored Commando Cars are parked behind it.
