Reference: casco en V

Reference information:
Si bien hace referencia a la carrocería del vehículo, igual se habla de "casco". La idea es que el ángulo inclinado del fondo ayude a desviar los gases generados por la explosión de minas y de artefactos explosivos caseros, cosa que no puede hacer un casco de fondo plano. ¡Suerte!
