The M151 incorporates a Rheinmetall soft-mount, which enables the end user to choose from a wide variety of weapons including the M249 SAW MG, an M240B MG, an M2 MG or the Mk19. The M151 allows for the mixing of lethal and less-lethal weapons on a single mount.

Protection
Hull Armor
The rear and front compartments are armored to provide protection from small arms fire and shell splinters. Some protection is also provided against anti-personnel mines. The armor is believed to consist of a layer of high hardness steel with and additional layer of modular armor, which provides improved protection from ballistic threats. The windows installed in the hull are protected to the same level as the armored sections of the hull. These features provide the occupants with a higher level of protection if the vehicle goes over a mine.
