    This is pretty much just a technical before they were called technicals, no? preexisting vehicle, bolt some machineguns and metal plates on to make a fighting vehicle in times of desperation

      Kind of, I guess. But in my book, a technical should at least have one pair of wheels and substancially less armor.
