HMMWV

HMMWV with M2 .50cal

High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) is a 4x4 armored truck. It is modifiable and can meet multiple different roles because of that. It is protected against up to 7.62mm small arms fire, 155mm air burst shells and 12 lb. anti-tank mines. It is further protected by the FRAG-5 up armor kit (from version 1.10 onwards) which enhances it's protection capabilities. The most common variant is not armed at all. It can be fitted with M2 .50cal, M240 7.62mm machine gun or the Mk.19 40mm grenade launcher. There is also a variant with FS3 system instead of weapon mount. Before patch 1.10 the Humvee was lightly armored. Humvee's can be found in the game Combat Mission: Shock Force.
