As to how to get them open...the traditional way...by blowing it up.
If that gun on top really is a 33mm cannon...this vehicle overall seems a bit too large to just be carrying 8 infantry soldiers.



Even accounting for the armored treads on the side, this is an incredibly roomy looking vehicle.

...though seeing the X1 by the 33 numbered thing, it probably is one 33mm gun.



edit: The main thing that strikes me how off center the gun is, compared to say, a Marine LAV.

And remember the gun on the LAV is only 25mm, and it takes up quite allot of space. The turret on the gamilon APC is much less substantial relative to the rest of the vehicle chassis.
