Designer Notes
Southern military strategists have historically accorded a great deal of importance to airborne troops. In the field of Gear development, this has meant a proliferation of airdroppable models, which together form a corps of paratrooper units ready to be dropped behind enemy lines or into domestic hot spots. The Iguana Paratrooper has been a highly successful airborne design and has inspired several variants, including the Iguana Commando and the Iguana Paratrooper Gunner. Unlike the Commando, the Gunner was not designed with a different operational role from the Paratrooper in mind. Rather, it was a response to complaints registered from airborne troops themselves. Paratrooper pilots had long complained about the low ammunition loads of their Gears given their long term mission profiles. In TN 1922, the Prefect of the Republican Army's Heavy Gear Branch demanded that a solution be implemented. In consultation with designated representatives from the paratrooper pilot corps, HG Branch developed a simple variant package that has been used enough to gain the official designation of Gunner.
