Just a quick note on the reactive armor on the LAV-25 series...There is none.
I have ridden one (LAV with TOW mount) for a while now and have never heard or
seen anything about it.  I don't think that the Marine Corps will stick it
on there either. The LAV is designed as a lightly armored RECON vehicle that
has quite a defensive punch for its size.
