Overview
The Barracks OL is a military truck based on the Flatbed, which, when first introduced in GTA III, is initially no different to the Flatbed barring slightly different body colors and a modified bed design with additional fencing. It exists in all GTA III era games and appears when the player achieves a 6-star Wanted Level, and has undergone extensive modifications to distinguish it further from the Flatbed. The GTA San Andreas and GTA Advance renditions are the only rendition to feature a closed cab, as opposed to the open cabs of other renditions. In general, 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 tarpaulin, or covered with camouflage netting (revealing boxes on the bed). Despite its huge size, it is only capable of carrying two occupants (one driver and one passenger).
Although it is one of the heaviest vehicles in game, it is faster than the much lighter Flatbed. Its ramming power is awesome: it can easily penetrate a SWAT roadblock. As it is long and has 2 rear axles, it suffers from understeer at higher speeds. The Barracks OL has all-wheel drive, but because of its size and weight, it can easily get stuck in off-road terrain. Much like other vehicles in the game, it will explode if it collides with a Rhino tank. These vehicles are frequently involved in accidents due to the carelessness of their drivers.
The Barracks OL is similar in design and function to the M939 "5 ton" truck.
