The USMC specifically chose the LAV series because they are air transportable by our CH-53's.

I did speak to a LAV-25 commander that told me he ran into one of the Iraqi T-62s during Gulf I and fired at it with his 25mm, not that he expected to destroy it but in hopes of rattling the crew so it's return fire would be less accurate. I don't recall if he mentioned how the tank was actually destroyed be he did say they looked at it after is was and concluded they probably could have chiseled thru the armor with their AP rounds eventually.

But keep in mind this was probably sabot rounds vs a T-62.
