Re: [AtE] Wasteland vehicle improvised weaponry
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.

Also, with a fairly consistent defence budget of around 2% of Australia's GDP, their defence forces aren't really that cash-strapped (Australia is a very wealthy country, per capita). What it is, is stretched over a lot of coastline.
