User:Flame-124/M6 Gungnir Fighting Vehicle

The M6 Gungnir was an armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle used by the UNSC in the period after the Human-Covenant War. Its modular design allowed it to function in either capacity with minimal change that could be made in the field.

Design
The Gungnir was primarily designed to provide transportation and direct fire support in combat. In addition to its 40mm chain gun and TOW missile launcher, the Gungnir could support various backup armaments on its modular, remote-controlled pods on the turret. With its Cadillac hydrogen engine it had a top speed of 70mph and had an operational range of 500 miles.

Armor
The Gungnir had several layers of armor, designed to protect the occupants from energy-based fire as well as projectiles. Ablative armor and an aerogel layer reduced heat damage, while the laminated armor bands underneath could defeat up to 20mm rounds.

Armament
The rapid-fire 40mm chain gun and TOW launcher were useful for anti-vehicle support to the squad, stopping most light vehicles fielded at the time. With the modular linked-fire system it could also mount various support armaments on the turret, providing extra fire support against infantry.

Mobility
With the variety of terrain the UNSC found itself fighting in, the Gungnir was designed with mobility in mind, able to keep up with light armor brigades and float with little preparation.
