The Jeep has no independent "engine" of it's
own, utilising power stored in ion batteries to drive it's fans into a steel
plenum chamber. The batteries can be charged from any power source - though
this can be a lengthy business taking as much as 36 hours from low voltage,
domestic supplies. In use with the Slammers regiment, these vehicles are
usually recharged when at rest from the fusion bottles of Blower tanks in
less than three hours. The variety of weapon systems mounted in this vehicle is vast, but include: Auto grenade launchers, buzz bomb racks, 10cm mortars, twin 'K', tri-barrels and other Power gun mounts in various locations (pintel, side, front etc). Other companies fit weapons as large as 3cm twin Power guns and occasionally use the jeep to tow larger weapons. The Slammers also regularly use the Jeep to fit electronic suites for specialist functions: location detection, reconnaissance etc |
