Welcome back to our Weapons & The First World War with today's topic being all about the armoured car. Now I know it may not sound like a piece of weaponry to some people however it was designed to not only protect its passengers but also to carry a gun when needed to.
The armoured car mainly consisted of armour plating all around but it had an open top and so made it very easy for the enemy to shoot at the passengers. Although they were used on the Western Front, they found it difficult to manoeuvre on the un-level ground, which would then start the idea off of the tank. When tanks were introduced, the armoured car was used more by officers and for general travel.
