This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2014-01-20
Recon Gravbike v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer This little contragrav flyer is used for classic cavalry missions like scouting, screening, and raiding. The pilot and one dismount trooper are protected by the force screen, but Recon Gravbikes are very vulnerable when they face heavy units. Used properly, they can wreak havoc out of proportion to their numbers. It takes 115 seconds to recharge one blaster shot. Subassemblies: Body +1.
