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

Recon Walker v1.0 (TL11)
Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer
The Recon Walker is deployed on worlds with very broken terrain and in
urban areas, where the ability to shoot and climb over obstacles is more
important than a low silhouette. Each arm mounts three weapons -- a grav
cannon, an x-ray laser for point defense, and a non-lethal stunner.
The cockpit has seats for the driver and the gunner. Both can operate
all systems of the Recon Walker using neural interfaces and holographic
terminals. The main hatch under the belly has a folding ladder and a
force screen to keep the atmosphere in. The top and rear hatches are
emergency exits.
It takes 5 seconds to recharge one xaser shot. A normal load of 40mm
ammunition is $491,625.
Subassemblies: Body +4, two Legs +3, two Arms +2.
Powertrain: 2,655-kW leg drivetrain; 4,000-kW super MHD fusion reactor;
twenty 450,000-kWs rechargeable power cells.
Occ: 2 RCS.
