the Gun Station
The gun station is a small, green, camouflaged missile platform the GI Joe team can haul into an area and quickly assemble in the field. This device consists of a rotary gunner's seat that can cover all 360 degrees around its occupant. The launcher itself can elevate up to 45 degrees.
The sophisticated targeting computers of the gun station allow it to fire either upon enemy aircraft or personnel / ground vehicles when necessary. It can store up to three projectiles per load, and inflicts +1 RS damage if more than one hits a target simultaneously.
The gun station's missiles have these vehicular characteristics:
| Handling RV 20 |
Velocity RV 100 |
Durability RV 20 |
Damage RV 30 Slashing (fragmentary) |
2004 Variations
Just a year after its initial deployment, the Gun Station received a variant based on where it was intended to be used. While the original model featured a foliage-based camouflage scheme, the 2004 iteration has a two-tone brown, desert- or mountain-based coloration.
Aside from this cosmetic change, the '04 gun station otherwise functions identically as its '03 predecessor.
