"Somebody order a Warthog?"
— Carol Rawley drops off an M12 Warthog LRV during the Battle of Installation 04.[1]

The M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (LRV) is a variant of the United Nations Space Command's M12 Force Application Vehicle.[2] Models fielded during the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War featured a turret-mounted M41 Vulcan or M46 Vulcan,[3] while M12Bs are armed with a M343A2 chaingun.[4]

Design details

The M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle is designed to eliminate lightly armored personnel and low-flying aircraft. The most common variant of the M12 "Warthog", the LRV is nearly ubiquitous in ground engagements. The triple-barreled, electric-powered, linkless belt-fed machine gun is capable of firing 450 to 550 12.7x99mm armor penetrating rounds per minute. It is ranked a Common REQ in Warzone simulations, and is available at Level 2 energy while giving 50 REQ points if sold.
