[edit] Jeep vs. M151

The Jeep and the M151 are COMPLETELY different vehicles.

This is a Jeep: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/JeepwwII01.jpg

This is an M151: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/JeepFrontM151.jpg

The two vehicles are so dissimilar it's not even funny. I'll just mention the obvious stuff: The M151 has a steel sheet-metal uni-body structure, unlike the original Jeep which was a steel tub bolted onto a steel frame. Additionally, the grille designs between the two vehicles is completely different. The Jeep was a WWII-era design; the M151 was a Cold War vehicle. The Marine Corps used modified M151s as Fast Attack Vehicles, not Jeeps. They are not the same thing. CeeWhy2 05:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AT 4

an AT 4 is not a rocket Launcher, its technically a recoilless rifle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.110.35.146 (talk) 23:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
