About the M1114:
  The M1114 is the successor version to the XM1109 HMMWV Up-Armored Armament Carrier. 
  The M1114 is an Up-Armored HMMWV that provides ballistic, artillery, and mine 
  blast protection to the vehicle occupants. The principal modifications to the 
  ECV HMMWV include an armor package, high capacity brakes, upgraded suspension 
  and lift points, a reinforced frame, and a large capacity air conditioning unit. 
  The weapon mount, located on the roof of the vehicle, is adaptable to mount 
  either the M60, 7.62mm machine gun; M2 .50 caliber machine gun; or the MK 19 
  Grenade Launcher. The weapons platform can be traversed 360 degrees. This confirguration 
  of the HMMWV is equipped with the self-recovery winch.
The Up-Armored program (M1114) was developed as a result of peacekeeping efforts throughout various parts of the world. A need was identified for an armored, mobile vehicle that provided a high level of ballistic protection against sniper fire and mine blasts.
Dragon Slide Mold Technology:
  Beginning with computer aided design right through to molding, the whole slide 
  mold process is computerized. It allows us to create large pieces without the 
  need to create them as separate parts. The result is a perfectly accurate scale 
  replica of the original without multiple seams (and major finishing work for 
  modellers).
  By utilizing this technology, we can manufacture parts that are more detailed 
  and complex. 3-D shapes, hollow tubes and barrels, one-piece muzzle brakes are 
  now a reality! This results in convenience and ease for you, with parts that 
  are accurately aligned and shaped.
