User:FightWithHonor/ASV-27 Weasel Aggressive Scout Vehicle

Overview
Fast and maneuverable, the Weasel was developed as a reconnaissance vehicle capable of taking care of itself in should it run into enemy opposition. Smaller that a Warthog, but larger than a Mongoose, the Weasel is roughly comparable to the Desert Patrol Vehicle of the early 21st century in terms of its armament, role and size.

Design
The three-seat ASV-27 is four wheeled and fitted with a single M-41 Chaingun, mounted behind the driver and passenger seats on a ultra-light turret designed especially for the light-weight Weasel.

The designers of the Weasel sacrificed most of the vehicle's armor in exchange for speed. However, thanks to an advanced ceramic overlay the ASV-27 is remarkably durable in spite of it's light nature. An even heavier armored variant the ASV-27 (Assault) variant has been created, although it is not yet in widespread use.

The driver and passenger are protected by a roll cage, onto which some mechanics have welded ersatz armor to in order to protect the crew from small arms and plasma fire.

UNSC Remarks
"Fast as heck, but they attract a lot of fire. Your best bet to survive is keep moving and have a good man on the Mike 41."

"Took a Fuel Rod right through the turret. Killed the gunner and sprayed us pretty good, but we got out of there alright."

"That this is so fast. I've seen guys jump it over these huge canyons after the bridges got blown. Scared the heck out of the Covies."
