Designer Notes
The Hunter Paratrooper first appeared at the end of the War of the Alliance. It is a highly modified standard model which includes some features from the Hunter Commando Mk2, such as the air brakes and the "puncher." Several modifications were made to the standard Hunter to transform it into an efficient airdroppable unit. Crashbars were welded on the back, torso, shoulders, lower legs, and feet, and parachute hardpoints were installed on the torso. The legs were also fitted with deployable airbrakes. Both the parachutes and the brakes could be ejected upon landing via explosive bolts. The weapons chosen for the Hunter Paratrooper were virtually identical to those employed by the Cheetah Paratrooper, namely a M260P Paratrooper rifle, which mounts both a 20mm autocannon and a barrel-fed 60mm grenade launcher in the same assembly. Rugged and wielding significant firepower, the M260P has been the darling of Paratrooper pilots since its introduction.
