UF-IFV-41 « Res » Infantry fighting vehicle
The « Res » is a derivative of the Salamander with the autocannon turrets removed in favour of 6 recoilless rifles mounted in two pairs of three. A steel sheet serves as a backplate to prevent redirect the exhaust downward and protect soldiers standing behind the Res. The goal of the Res is to provide overwhelming fire support at relative close range in places likes cities and jungles as well as providing more punch for beach landings. While the vehicle cannot be reloaded from the inside, doctrine is that six shots to the face of whatever just popped in front of it should make the area safe for reloading either by the crew or by accompanying infantry.
In addition to HEAT and incendiary round, the Res can also shoot the new UF-AP-41 “Nothing Personal” anti-personnel round, an oversized shotgun shell that is devastating against non-entrenched infantry and can in a pinch be used to clear brush providing cover to the enemy (and the enemy).
