This new design, to be called the Shrew (a ferocious little beast that punches far above its weight) can go anywhere to deliver its 75mm rounds. Needless to say it is very fuel efficient, and its crew of one allows considerable personnel savings.

.... and they are air-portable and man-packable to boot......

Bonus!

Now I suppose the fight begins to see who operates these, Herbies because it's considered a Mobile Gun system or Zipperheads claiming the same ..... or Grunts, claiming they're an anti-armour resource ......... at least now I know where the 75mm RR the Museum had went......
