Designer Notes
The Assault Hunter Ammunition Carrier was designed to operate alongside the basic Assault Hunter, filling ammunition resupplying duties in combat zones. Internal ammunition capacity for the Snub Cannon on basic Assault Hunters is only three rounds, and intense combat will deplete it quickly. Additional clips can be carried externally, but many vehicles were lost due to premature ammo detonation caused by a stray enemy hit. The Assault Hunter AC is in fact a basic Hunter chassis with internal armor reinforcement. A specialized armored containter is attached to the back of the machine (giving the affectionate name of a "butt-pack"), fitted with special internal ammunition storage compartment. The ammunition containment system diverts any explosion away from the cockpit in the event of an accident or damage to the ammunition storage. The pack contains twelve clips, enough to supply a tank-hunting team. To keep the hands of the machine free, the usual Snub Cannon has not been issued to the Assault AC and it uses a M25 pack gun for defensive purposes. Standard operating procedure is to deploy one Assault AC as part of one or two-squadron teams of Assault Hunters.
