M113A3/4 Gavin LAV3Stryker
With Machine Guns Mounted
11 tons (13.5 as IAV) 19-21 tons
The absolute empty weight of a vanilla M113A3 Gavin according to UDLP Engineers is 20,989 lbs.
The problem is we don't know exactly what the Army does in weight to a lav3 to make it a
“lav3stryker”, but we do know the empty lav3 is 16.5 tons. If the GDLS/Army claims the basic
lav3stryker is 19 tons empty then subtract 16.5 from 19 tons to get the weight of the junk they add
to make it an “IAV” = 2.5 tons .
