"May I introduce, our new Light-Reconnaissance vehicle. It has 4-inch Armor Plating; M.A.G. Bumper Suspension; a mounted machine gunner position, and total seating for three. Gentlemen! This is the M12 LRV! I like to call it the 'Warthog'."

"Why 'Warthog,' Sir?"

— Grif

"Because 'M12 LRV' is too hard to say in conversation, son."

— Sarge

"No, but, why 'Warthog'? I mean, it doesn't really look like a pig..."

— Grif

The M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle, abbreviated as the M12 LRV, is a United Nations Space Command ground vehicle. It is a variant of the M12 Force Application Vehicle and features a mounted M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Description

The M12 LRV is the UNSC's anti-infantry vehicle, designed to quickly and efficiently eliminate lightly armored personnels. The LRV is almost exactly the same in every detail to the standard M12 "Warthog" FAV except that it is equipped with a mounted M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun. The triple-barreled, electric-powered, linkless, belt-fed chain-gun is capable of firing 450 to 550 12.7x99mm armor penetrating rounds per minute.

Trivia

• The M12 LRV in Halo Reach can be made to look like a civilian Warthog. Simply spawn a Kill Ball and a M12 LRV, and grab the vehicle and move it into the Kill Ball for a second then move it out. The Kill Ball should render the vehicle without a turret.
