The '''Gun Trailer''' is a very simple concept: Take a trailer chassis, add some armor for protection, a lot of weapons, and a small engine to power the weapons and other equipment. Then position the trailer around an objective or haul it as part of a convoy. The trailer can carry many types of weapons and therefore fills many roles. Even better they're cheap to produce so they're easy to provide to militias in large numbers. Gun Trailers can use the variety of weapons they contain to fulfill several roles on the battlefield. Versions have been seen that act as anti-infantry units, ambush units, and artillery or anti-aircraft support. Given that they are trailers hauled behind ground units, they typically carry most of their armor on their rear sides, where the weapons are mounted. | The '''Gun Trailer''' is a very simple concept: Take a trailer chassis, add some armor for protection, a lot of weapons, and a small engine to power the weapons and other equipment.

Description[edit]
The Gun Trailer is a very simple concept: Take a trailer chassis, add some armor for protection, a lot of weapons, and a small engine to power the weapons and other equipment. Then position the trailer around an objective or haul it as part of a convoy. The trailer can carry many types of weapons and therefore fills many roles. Even better they're cheap to produce so they're easy to provide to militias in large numbers. Gun Trailers can use the variety of weapons they contain to fulfill several roles on the battlefield. Versions have been seen that act as anti-infantry units, ambush units, and artillery or anti-aircraft support. Given that they are trailers hauled behind ground units, they typically carry most of their armor on their rear sides, where the weapons are mounted.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
