Armorer Armored Cars, Gala wallpapers: Armored Cars (wallpapers) - Military armored cars are a type of armoured fighting vehicles and have wheels (usually 6 or 8 large off-road wheels) instead of tracks, and light armor. They may have a machine gun, an autocannon, or a small gun, or may even be unarmed. Their primary purposes are reconnaissance, command/control, and communications. At the beginning of the 20th century a number of military armoured vehicles were manufactured by adding armour and weapons to existing vehicles: armoured tractors, armoured cars, and armoured trains are known. A prototype vehicle fully designed for a military purpose was Tsar Tank, tested in Russia in August, 1915, however the design proved to be a fiasco. Subsequent armoured cars were less ambitious.
