Every source I find says 10, three crew and seven troops when used as an infantry section carrier. ( Yes, I know the OOB currently has 3+8 , that has been changed)

that's the Canadian Armed Forces website so I'm betting they know how many troops get into these things

Unfortunately they don't say how many rounds of 25mm ammo is carried but I have a call out to a guy I know who will know for certain

So if globalsecurity got how many troops load in it who's to say their info about ammo storage is any good ? Stangely enough military-today.com does have the number of troops carried correct ( Crew 3 men Personnel 6 - 7 men ) so until that's proven wrong I'm going with the 500 figure military-today quotes


This is why getting info... RELIABLE INFO...is a complete joke really. Given enough time anybody can find anything that disagrees with just about everything.
