The M925 Fast Attack and Support Vehicle
M925 Fast Attack and Support Vehicle Overview
The M925 FASV is a swift vehicle designed by Mirage Heavy Industries of Oslea. The M925 was designed for speedy infantry support and easy transportation due to its light weight and small size. Don't let the vehicle's size fool you, the weapons on it are stronger than what you would usually find on a Humvee.
M925 FASV Body Frame
The FASV employs a body frame similar to that of a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler, because of its small size, speed, and offroad capabilities. The 130 hp engine provides the FASV with an extremely fast speed, and the extra detachable fuel tanks at the back of the vehicle provide it with extra fuel capacity. The crew compartment at the front is slightly lowered to let the machine gunner/grenade launcher at the back (where the item storage for a civilian jeep would be) have more room to aim the gun. If the mounted gun does not need to be swiveled around by the gunner, up to 4 troops can mount on the FASV's back, by sitting on the sides with their legs within the vehicle. This inhibits the degree of swivel for the gunner though. The body is topless so it does not interfere with the gun, although a impromptu tarp can be added in noncombat situations if the operators want it.
The FASV utilizes a ballistic windshield that stops most small-arms fire (up to 7.62mm) and armor plating for the front hull. The plated and bullet-proofed side doors and windows provide limited protection against small-arms fire. The back has no protection at all to minimize weight.
M925 FASV Weapons
The basic M925 FASV has 1 weapons point, which is the back mount. The weapons on the back mount (on the same mount) is an Mk. 19 automatic grenade launcher, an M2 Browning machine gun. The Mk 19 is mounted on top of the M2. The mount can swivel in any direction. The gunner, unfortunately, has no cover at all, and only strong soldiers should operate the mount due to its high weight. Weak soldiers risk having a bad reaction time to threats if they are operating the mount, since they have difficulty turning it. All ammo is stored in the back, within easy reach of the gunner. If needed, a Javelin missile mount can replace the grenade launcher for AT abilities.
If required, an Anti Armor rocket launcher such as the LAW, Carl Gustav, or Javelin, (and the Mk19 isn't replaced by an AT launcher) can be stashed under the seat for Anti Armor jobs. Other weapons such as sniper rifles and light machine guns can be stored as well. Up to a two day food (only MRES) and water supply (for recon missions) can be stashed in the dashboard, in the enlarged "glove compartment". Medical Kits can also be stashed behind the seats.
M925 FASV Suggested Tactics
The M925 FASV can perform different roles, and the Oslean army suggests these basic tactics with the M925. Of course, they can be used in other ways than this.
Recon and Patrol. M925s are fast, and have good firepower, and good food storage.
Escort. M925s, if shot with an RPG or other heavy weapon, will simply fly off the road, enabling the other vehicles of the convoy to pass by. It can also simply be crushed by most military-grade vehicles, enabling easy crossing past M925 wreckage.
Long Range Assault. M925s are small, and many M925s can be stored in cargo planes such as C-5 Galaxys. Also they easily fit into Chinooks and lightweight cargo planes and copters, giving the M925 the ability to travel anywhere quickly with the help of a carrier.
Hit and Run. Quickly hit an enemy fortification, and get the hell outta there! Also, for anti armor jobs, M925s easily outrun MBTs and if confronted by an MBT, the M925 can retreat to a safe location, and let the passenger who operates the Anti Armor weapons to pop out of the car, and strike the MBT. The passenger can pop back in if the MBT isn't destroyed, and get out of there with his fellow M925 operators.
M925 FASV known flaws
The optional fuel tanks at the back can easily be ignited by shooting them with an incendiary round; therefore damaging if not destroying the whole FASV. Also, since it is light, the FASV has little protection for its operators and can simply be killed with sniper fire, though aiming at the FASV would be difficult due to its speed.
