| Designer Notes |
| When the first Rabid Ferret was rolled out of the factory, many soldiers were appalled that the engineers and technicians "could transform something so cute and seemingly soharmless into such a monster." They were referring, of course, to the Rabid Ferret's anti-personnel specialization. This variant of the small Gear kept the overall body layout of the standard Ferret, but sported twin grenade launchers carried on forearm mounts for a wide field of fire. Each grenade launcher was belt-fed from an ammunition drum attached to the side and under the barrel of each launcher, giving the machine comically large forearms. The Gear's traditional pack gun was removed, since it could not be easily used in conjunction with the grenade launchers, but the light rocket pod was kept to ensure that at least some offensive punch remained in the design. A pair of light panzerfausts was often also added, strapped to the Gear's back, to provide extra anti-vehicular capacity. |
