Bolt-driven - Type 91 So-Mo Armored Car

also referred to as the Type 91 broad-gauge railroad tractor, the So-Mo has the unusual ability to quickly switch between road and rail. The So-Mo could achieve speeds of approximately 25 miles per hour on roads and almost double that on rails. Used by both the Imperial Japanese Army and the SNLF during World War II, the six-wheel drive So-Mo also served in the Japanese attack on China in 1937. The vehicle lacked integrated weapons, but the crew often carried a 7.7mm machine gun that was fired through the observation ports in the turret.
Despite its light LMG arsenal, the So-Mo offers a relatively inexpensive armoured car for a Japanese force, providing dual benefits: transport of six infantrymen across the battlefield and utility if the battlefield contains railways.
