Hmm, more Agro vehicles - make good targets :lol:

"Introduced in 3049 by Earthwerks's Free Worlds League branch, the Ibex RV was created for farmers and rural settlements. The vehicle became wildly popular with both rural and urban users, being seen as a status symbol for the latter.
The vehicle is also used by law enforcement agencies and Free Worlds League Militia forces.
The two ton vehicle has an eleven-kilogram tank which allows a 500 kilometer range. Equipped with four doors (two per side) and a rear door. It has a cargo capacity of 601kg and is able to carry seven passengers. "

Neither is the Ibex... it's got an-old school Internal Combustion Engine.

Without doing any math, I figure a gallon of deisel weighs a bit under 4kg, 11kg is about 3gallons I guess, and that'll take you somewhere aroundish 300miles... 100mpg deisel truck. Not too shabby. It could use a bigger tank, though.

388kg additional to the passengers? Else only the seven dwarfs could use this thing ^^
Also it looks like the have to sit next to each other rather then behind or maybe on top of each other because there aint much space - again - more suited for the seven dwarfs ^^

But hey, there are lots of faulty design on the roads nowadays too :lol:

Not a lot of places to mount weapons by the looks of things.

Looks like the twin MGs would go on the roof in a pintle mount. See that bullet-screen in front of the sunroof? Looks too much like an oversized dune buggy for my tastes.
