the Sand Razor
The Sand Razor is a high speed combat vehicle designed for desert operations. Sparsely armored to maximize its speed, the Razor is best suited for hit-and-run missions in sandy climes, or a fast getaway from some battle or another. The Sand Razor has these characteristics:
Handling RV 30 |
Velocity RV 40 * |
Durability RV 30 |
Protection RV 2 |
* The Sand Razor has a road speed of 105 MPH, limited to 55 MPH (rank value 4 Velocity) off-road.
.50 Cal Rotary Cannon: the Sand Razor's primary driver-utilized weapon, this forward-pointing beast can discharge a short burst of ammunition to inflict rank value 20 Piercing damage, or it can be fired continuously to inflict rank value 30 Piercing damage.
Communications Suite: the Sand Razor is equipped with a radio transceiver system, allowing the driver to send battle-field data to a central command, and then receive new orders in turn. This functions at rank value 10, and has a maximum range of about 25 miles.
Gun Turret: in addition to the driver's seat, the Sand Razor comes equipped with a top-mounted, rotating gun turret. This seat offers the high ground in most vehicular fights, though it could make its occupant feel somewhat exposed, what with the lack of protection from the roll bar.
The turret makes up for this lack of defense with staggering offense. It has a rocket launcher (described below) and a 55mm recoilless rifle with 15 shots fully loaded, each of which can be fired to inflict rank value 30 Piercing damage with each deadly assault.
Halogen Floodlight: the Sand Razor has a large, left-mounted floodlight that it can use to both illuminate an area, and possibly, affect one's aim due to overwhelming glare. This floodlight can produce light of rank value 30 intensity, and can easily blind someone temporarily!
Machine Gun: this secondary driver-utilized weapon, this automatic weapon can be swiveled 45 degrees from a forward-facing position, and may discharge a short burst of rounds to inflict rank value 10 Piercing damage, or be fired continuously to inflict rank value 20 Piercing damage.
Rocket Launchers: the Sand Razor has two rocket launchers: one in the gun turret and one concealed between the Razor's two left wheels. Both of these launchers fire rockets with fragmentary warheads, rockets that each possess these vehicular capabilities:
Handling RV 20 |
Velocity RV 50 |
Durability RV 20 |
Damage RV 30 Slashing (fragmentary) |
Roll Cage: though the Sand Razor offers its driver little protection, it does come equipped with a roll cage. This thing will protect the driver (but not a body manning the gun turret) 1 RS of Damage Reduction against any damage caused by the vehicle's rolling or crashing.
