Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me if the Irish Mowags have the same weapons on all of them. I visited the site for them and saw some really cool looking veriations. Some of these had the 105mm and others 20mm etc.
I was also wondering what range the anti-personnel grenade launcher has?
the APC version used have the 12.7mm Browning M2 HMG and a 7.62 GPMG, the medical version is unarmed, the DF don't have any of the heavier armed version yet, although they probably will eventually
Dr. Venture: Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?
Aren't those intended for smoke grenades, so that the crew can lay down a smokescreen pretty fast before running/driving for the hills? I can't see them being practical for frag grenades, unless you're completely surrounded by people you don't like (or doing security at an airport during mass protests)
Jesus wept!! I thought there was conflict about the choice of grenade launcher for the infantry section and now some nutter wants to know if the Mowag can fire a banger from the pipes on the turret. Listen, if the situation gets that bad that you have to fire those launchers, it's really time to find reverse gear and get out of Dodge! Personally, I'd rather have a 30mm main gun than a puny 12.7.

Hallo Cal Tanker et al
I'm not against the 12.7 as a back-up gun, but given that the persons most likely to engage Irish troops are lowlifes with "technicals", carrying 12.7s, then I'd rather have a cannon, to get my retaliation in first and from a long way off. I'd rather put a burst from a 20 or 30mm into his jeep than allow him to get near enough to puncture my Mowag with his Dushka.
All the best
