Overview

In the Middle East, insurgent fighters who lack proper military vehicles are often forced to make do, constructing elaborate improvised fighting vehicles from civilian trucks, miscellaneous weapon systems, and scrap. No two are exactly alike. One frequently seen type of "technical" - a generic term for an improvised fighting vehicle of this type, originating from Somalia - is fitted with rocket pods usually used on attack helicopters, which insurgents have no use for. These vehicles are used to provide fire support in the form of rocket artillery.

Being originally taken from an attack helicopter, the S-5 rockets this particular vehicle is mounted with is more than capable of taking out armored vehicles with a close range salvo. But be careful - lacking armor, a rocket that lands too closely can do just as much, if not more, damage to you than the target. With 20-rocket salvos, every shot must count, lest your attack anger the enemy more than hurt them. You can, of course, use the rockets for their true purpose - as artillery. If performing indirect fire somewhere you cannot see, it is recommended that a gunner work with a spotter, to tell them if their shots are on target or not. The rockets have a maximum range of over 800m, enough to reach across the longest possible maps in Gmod, and then some.

Also included is a version lacking the rocket pod, for whatever reason you'd want a truck without rockets.

Also, also included is a version with a heavy machine gun. Install the INS2 Humvee (In collection) to get it.

If you use the color tool, you can change the color of any of the three white Technicals.
