Nitronian Special Forces APC

Post by M220 » Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:38 am

As the genocide of peaches comes nearer to its borders, Nitronian authorities issued the making of several million rapid-deployment all-terrain personnel carriers. They are equipped with a 12-barreled 40mm Grenade Launcher which can fire up 2400m; however, some variants of the APC carry a 50cal anti-tank auto-cannon for full battle engagements. The carrier has space for a single crew member, with enough space left for a squad of 4 men.

Looks awesome. Do the soldiers' weapons fit in?

Yes, they do. If I really wanted to I could try fit 5 soldiers inside, but then they'd just have their bare hands.

Love it, the only thing I'd have to say is that a 12mm auto-cannon is not AT, you have a grenade that launches up to two miles, and I would add plates on top?

The Grenade launcher has a range only 200 yards more than the current US Army Heckler & Koch GMG.

Also, I'm considering adding a large minigun instead of the cannon, as it's slightly less work.

Anyways, I'm really digging this APC. Robust, simple and practical.

Looking forward for that weapon addition.

Agreed, and for some reason I don't even mind the exposed studs on top, normally that stuff makes me crazy. This design is both crude and sleek, very nice.

Is it just me or has Honore not quite got the idea of "Stop being reasonable, this is brikwars" yet?

I just google it, that's pretty damn impressive. But no if you want a grenade launcher, you should put one on top. Besides, BRICKARMS or some brother company makes something along the lines of that. You don't have to buy the tri-pod to it.

In fact, I have bought quite a bit of stuff from brikarms already. By the way, I tried putting the current one I have on the APC on top, but it was too bulky and I didn't have the time to fiddle with it. But yes, it'd be good if I could maybe even put some sort of a gunnery hatch in the roof....
