Stinger Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Gun.
Essentially a 1/2 Ton General Purpose Truck with a 105mm 9-stage coilgun, akin to that on the Avenger II tank. It was designed as a light tank destroyer, designed to provide the Pilotmario Army's Airborne Troops to have a machine that can destroy larger, more heavily armored vehicles in an ambush, as well as provide light support. It can carry eight rounds of main gun ammunition; one in the breech, two behind the gun shield of the loader's position and five on the vehicle's floor. It can fire the same variety of ammunition as the 105mm coilgun on the Avenger II tank.
The vehicle has almost no armor, except for a gun shield able to resist 7.62mm rifle rounds and shrapnel, and relies on the element of surprise. Anti-tank paratrooper units found it very useful, able to eliminate an Artemis tank at long ranges. The backwards-facing gun enabled the crew to position the vehicle with the rear facing the enemy, so after a shot is taken, the driver can relocate quickly without needing to reverse. However, a noted complaint was the poor armor protection. Oftentimes, the armor shield was removed in order to save weight and to shorten the vehicle's silhouette, increasing it's stealth.
To operate, move VTOL slider and throttle up to move forward. To steer, use yaw controls. To activate the gun, press (1). To aim the gun, use pitch to control elevation and roll to control traverse.

@ian1547, check this out! It's just like the old jeep, except it has a really, really, big gun.
