Appearing on the streets only when the player achieves a 6-star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]], the Barracks OL is a military truck based on the [[Wikipedia:M939|M939 "5 ton"]] truck. When first introduced in GTA III, it was visually very similar to the the [[Flatbed]] truck, differing only in its body colors and its modified bed design with additional fencing. Unlike the Flatbed, the Barracks OL underwent fewer modifications after GTA III, retaining its rugged, military-like design. | Appearing on the streets only when the player achieves a 6-star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]], the Barracks OL is a military truck based on the [[Wikipedia:M939|M939 "5 ton"]] truck.

The Barracks OL comes with three types of bed configurations: uncovered, uncovered with framing, and fully covered; GTA San Andreas' Barracks, however, features only two bed configurations: covered with [[wp:tarpaulin|tarpaulin]], or covered with camouflage netting (revealing boxes on the bed). | The Barracks OL comes with three types of bed configurations: uncovered, uncovered with framing, and fully covered; GTA San Andreas' Barracks, however, features only two bed configurations: covered with [[wp:tarpaulin|tarpaulin]], or covered with camouflage netting (revealing boxes on the bed).

Although it is one of the heaviest vehicles in the games, it is faster than the much lighter Flatbed; due to its length and its two rear axles, however, it suffers from understeer at higher speeds. Its ramming power is awesome; it can easily penetrate a SWAT roadblock. The Barracks OL has all-wheel drive, but, because of its size and weight, it can easily get stuck in off-road terrain. Despite its size, the Barracks will explode if it collides with a [[Rhino]] tank, just as other vehicles do. The Barracks OL has an average top speed but the acceleration leaves much to be desired. | Although it is one of the heaviest vehicles in the games, it is faster than the much lighter Flatbed; due to its length and its two rear axles, however, it suffers from understeer at higher speeds.

* Boxes found on partially covered Barracks in GTA San Andreas appear to be labeled as containing ammunition, but are further labeled hilariously with warnings not to eat the boxes' contents ("''Do Not Eat!''"). | |||
