~ some info from Wikipedia (visit link) Built by General Motors, Cadillac Division, it was in service from 1962-1973. The M114 is a lightweight, low-silhouette vehicle, designed to complement the M113 in command and reconnaissance roles. It was fast and stealthy, swim capable and deployable by parachute.
BUT
Its lack of resistance to land mines was fatal. A mine would literally blast an M114 reconnaissance vehicle in half.
