Information


The M-32 Ripsaw is based off of, primarily, the Ripsaw tank design. The addition original design includes a large amount of shaped armor, the empty areas within the tank filled with rounds, round containers, and extraneous technology, and also the addition of three weapon to increase the lethality of the weapons system.

Weighed down by the extra additions, the Ripsaw's top speed is slowed down quite a bit from it's original form, but it's cruising speed stays around the same as the original ripsaw's (at a higher fuel consumption). The Tank exploits the large, caged cavities within it to store the actual rounds. The weapons are external, moving about on the outside at all times, rather than coming inside. The primary Cannon, the 125mm, uses an auto-loader, with a maximum rate of fire around roughly 1 round per every 10 seconds. Much heavier than it's counterpart, it still allows for a high speed, unmanned, and in this case well armed vehicle to preform well in all kinds of terrains.

Regardless of what the picture presents, this attempting to show a lot of the primary mechanisms stripped from the device, the entire tank is armored. Even the suspension area, which is unarmored in the picture, is completely covered by the composite armor, allowing for the complete protection of the vehicle from small arms and small weapons attacks.

The Vehicle also possess a long range two way radio. This radio is connected to the unmanned control area of the tank, allowing it to be moved around at a distance. The distance ranges on the interference with the radio waves, although typically the distance can be expected to be up to roughly 250 miles.
