SCV-1 Hammer
http://www.sfu.ca/casr/griz-5.jpg
The Hammer was originally designed as an ETF vehicle for the national police service and initially sported a water cannon for riot control. However, Warforge lost the contract to competitor Battlefield Systems and the vehicle was redesigned to meet army requirements for a light section combat vehicle for mechanized infantry formations.
The Hammer weights in at 11 tons and features a protected turret mounting a 12.7mm heavy machine gun (14.5mm HMG available) which can be replaced with any similar sized weapon system such as a 40mm grenade machine gun, 5.56mm or 7.62 guns. Additional firepower or smoke screens are provided by two banks of four 76mm grenade launchers. The vehicle bears enough armour to withstand most small arms fire, but it cannot stand up to sustained fire from heavier machine guns (12.7mm and up). It is especially vulnerable to pretty much all anti-armour weapons as well as IEDs, though at a distance, the sloped armour does help to deflet much of the blast away. An optional cage can be added, which, while adding weight, will defeat most LAWs and RPGs.
The Hammer is designed as an SCV, or Section Combat Vehicle, as such it accomodates the standard eight-soldier infantry section, with one fireteam serving as the crew (gunner, driver) and the section commander takes command of the vehicle, and the others provide fire support through a series of rifle ports, or through top hatches which open up allowing the infantry to rise and have a full view of the battlefield and still possesing significant cover from the hatches and vehicle hull. Based on this design, an entire infantry section can conduct combat operations from the vehicle, using ports and hatches and the mounted fifty-cal, or three fire teams can dismount and have the fire support of the vehicle providing cover for them. The vehicle's speed makes it ideal as a quick reaction or patrolling vehicle.
The Hammer is by no means a powerful fighting vehicle in the sense of, say, a LAV-III, it is however, a fantastic vehicle for peacekeeping, quick reaction forces, poorer nations, reserve or national guard forces, patrolling, or adding extra firepower to infantry formations that are not assigned heavier, more powerful assets. The vehicle is also easy and cheap to maintain, and its infantry section can easily handle the work, eliminating the need for any dedicated mechanical staff.

Mobile Gun System
The LAV-III (Light Armoured Vehicle number 3) is the the mainstay medium weight vehicle of the Veragon military. It is a common multi-role chassis used to fulfill most roles of the Veragon Army, with variants such as the Tow Under Armour, Mobile Gun System, Engineering variant, and Command Post. This medium weight vehicle is a reverse engineered copy of the Canadian Forces vehicle.
The LAV-III weighs in at around 17 tons and is air-deployable, the standard Infantry Section Carrier can ferry eight infantry into battle and mounts a turret equipped with two banks of four 76mm grenade launchers, a stabilized 25mm cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, and a turret top machine gun (eight 5.56mm or 7.62mm, other similar sized weapons may be used) which can be easily removed and used as an infantry weapon should the crew have to abandon the vehicle. The vehicle alone possesses enough firepower to engage and defeat most light vehicles, and older tank designs such as the T-54. The infantry bay contains hatches, especially the prominent two air sentry hatches at the rear in which the section machine gunners can rise out of, and with the cover afford by the hull and hatches, add two more machine guns to the vehicle's already formidable firepower. The vehicle possesses a wide array of advanced electronics systems and sighting systems including TACNAV and GPS systems, a variety thermal and night viewers, and advanced communication systems. The vehicle's armour, designed to withstand small arms fire, is also capable of deflecting RPG and IED blasts, and the vehicle can stay in the fight even after losing tires, and lost tires can be easily and quickly replaced between firefights, or in the middle of a firefight as the situation may dictate. The vehicle also boasts superior ground clearance, making it ideal for rough terrain and off road operations.
The mobile gun system variant switches out infantry carrying capacity in favour of a stabilized 105mm gun that can be fired at 90 degree angles to the vehicle without fear of flipping. A similar variant, utilizing a 105mm howitzer or recoiling 120mm mortar are in development. The TUA variant possesses a protected turret mounting two TOW missile launchers and an auto-loader and can defeat opposing main battle tanks from several kilometers. Other missile systems can also be mounted, and two Veragon army variants are being tested with hellfire missiles. The command post variant possesses the same armament, but gets rid of some carrying capacity in favour of superior communications systems and map tables, a tent can also be deployed from the rear to increase workspace. The engineer variant is largely unarmed and is not designed for combat, and should be protected at all times. Artillery observation versions are also available for guiding in artillery and air strikes. The Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle utilizes the ADATS missile system, and bears eight tubes that allow it to engage and defeat opposing aircraft, and can be used with devastating effect on enemy vehicles should it be engaged (though due to the expense of ADATS missiles, it is not recommended)
The vehicle is an all round powerhouse vehicle, perfect for front line mechanized infantry formations, and when used in concert with other variants such as the mobile gun system and TUA, combined formations can engage and defeat any type of enemy, from light infantry to armoured.
