An mrap carries people and is armored. Apc = armored personnel carrier
I guess if you want to use simple terms. An actual APC is a tracked vehicle though.
Umm, no. APCs can be wheeled, tracked, or half-tracked. APCs have most of their armor on the sides while MRAPs have the addition of armored flooring to protect occupants from mines and IEDs.
MRAPs have a V shaped armored hull to deflect a blast from underneath the vehicle outwards and away from the occupants.
If you want to call every uparmored vehicle troops get in to travel an APC, go ahead. But the correct usage of an APC relates to the M113.
There are uparmored troop carrying vehicles like the MRAP, Stryker, Humvee, etc. But usually APC relates to the M113. Call it whatever you want, I'm just trying to politely point out differences in terms.
The M113 was the first APC, but the definition of APC didn't stop with that, lol (you're showing your age.)
The contemporary classification - as I've already pointed out - is determined based on the armor layout.
