The Australian Army used to make very extensive use of the M113. They made FSVs (fire support vehicle) by bolting a Saladin turret on them, and all sorts of other interesting variants. Actually, they bolted almost any available turret on them at one point or another- V150s, Scorpions, etc. And I think it was the Australians that invented the ACAV.

Unless the Australians sold all of them to some even more cash-strapped military, of course.

Really, the Australians have worked regular miracles on a really tight budget, regarding their military.

Pity about the Austeyr, though. I have yet to meet a Digger with anything good to say about it.
