GAW LAV (Light Armored Vehicle) Family of Combat Vehicles:
In the end of the Twentieth Century and Beginning of the twentieth century, a large number of different combat vehicles were designed using an eight wheeled Canadian design as its foundation. There were armored personnel carrier versions, mobile gun system, anti-aircraft versions, anti-tank versions, mortar armed versions, cargo versions, recovery versions, electronics warfare versions, and command and control versions. These vehicles were operated by the United States Marine Corp and were exported to many other countries. As well, many nations manufactured similar designs of their own. The LAV family of combat vehicle were fairly fast and were capable of limited travel on water. While these vehicles were long retired from active military service before the coming of the Rifts, some of these vehicles were retained in forgotten armories and others found their way into museums.
After the Rifts, some of these vehicles were found by adventures and some of these found their way into Golden Age Weaponsmiths to be refitted. Due to their relatively high speed and heavy weaponry, these vehicles were very popular and their construction made them far simpler to repair and manufacture than most treaded designs. The vehicles were so popular that the company could not find enough old LAV to refit. Due to this, Golden Age decided to manufacture copies of this vehicle. There were no perceived large scale markets for either the electronics warfare version and command and control version so there were none produced. Few of them have found their way to Golden Age to be refitted. The job of mortar armed vehicles has mostly been taken over by missile launching vehicles so they were not manufactured by Golden Age either. Golden Age will still refit any LAV that find their way to their facilities and sell for slightly less than newly manufactured versions. Iron Armory produces a vehicle similar to the LAV known as the LAV-800 Mountain Lion. Interestingly, the Mountain Lion has an Electronics Warfare version and a Command and Control version.
The newly manufactured versions of the LAV are slightly stronger than those which are refitted from pre-Rifts designs. They use a diesel engine which is similar to other engines used in truck designs built by Golden Age instead of the GM Detroit Diesel 6V-54T engine used in the original LAV. The new engine produces similar power but the internal design of the vehicle had to be modified slightly to incorporate the new engine. The vehicle gets better mileage with the new engine than the original engine but as a result of the engine's shape, the pre-rifts models cannot accept the new engine. One interesting feature is that the nuclear fusion engine from the Mountaineer ATV can be fitted to the new manufacture versions of the LAV. Golden Age will refit the nuclear engine into their combat vehicle at purchaser's options and is the first design from Golden Age, other than refitted large naval vessels, that is available with a nuclear reactor.
All versions of the LAV carry smoke grenade launchers. Most versions of the vehicle carry either a top mounted machine-gun of 7.62 mm or .50 caliber. These mounts are often replaced by rail guns or Wellington automatic grenade launchers. One additional weapon system can be added to these vehicles with mini-missile launchers being the most common addition by crews.
By far the most popular version of the LAV is the LAV-25 model. It is both the most commonly refitted and the most common LAV to come off of Golden Age's manufacturing facilities. In this role, it serves as an armored personnel carrier with six troops and the weaponry carried by the vehicle is quite effective at supporting troops in the field. The main weapon is a 25-mm chain gun which is capable, with the use of special Wellington ammunition, of inflicting heavy damage to targets. This is supported by a 7.62 mm machine-gun mounted coaxially with the main gun. Like the light weapons carried on top of other versions, the weapon is often replaced by a rail gun or an automatic grenade launcher.
The LAV-MGS is the second most popular version of the vehicle and many consider it to be practically a light tank. Its main weapon is a 105 mm cannon in a low profile mount. The ammunition is more limited than a true tank but has a long range and is powerful. The vehicle is armed with the secondary guns common to other designs but does not have space for additional troops.
The LAV-AD is the third most popular and is designed for air defense although the vehicle weapons are also effective against ground targets. It does not carry any troops and is not armed with a top mounted 7.62 or .50 caliber machine-gun. It is armed with a 25-mm Gatling cannon with a much higher rate of fire than the cannon carried on the LAV-25 version. It is also armed with eight stinger missile launchers which are adapted to fire short range missiles. The vehicle has eight short range missiles in the launcher with eight reloads carried on the vehicle.
The LAV-AT is the anti-tank version of the LAV class of vehicles which uses missiles as its main weaponry. The original models of the LAV-AT simply had the TOW missile launchers adapted to carry short range missiles but later models had the launcher completely replaced. The launcher is replaced by a medium range missile launcher which has four medium range missiles in the launcher and carries four medium missiles in the vehicle itself. Like the air defense version, the anti-tank version has no ability to carry troops but does retain a top mounted machine-gun.
The LAV-M version is armed with an 81 mm mortar with a total of ninety-nine rounds of ammunition. While most militaries and mercenary companies prefer the use of missiles over artillery for support roles, mortar rounds are far cheaper and a mulch larger payload can be carried on a small vehicle. As a result, a small number of military type organizations do operate mortars. There is a large hatch on top of the vehicle which the mortar fires from. The mortar is manually barrel loaded by the crew which limits the continuous rate of fire. The standard crew is a crew of five with a driver, vehicle commander, and three crew for the mortar.
The main other version of the vehicle is a cargo carrying versions with several other modifications on the design including a recovery vehicle. The cargo version can carry about 2.5 tons of cargo and the recovery version carries special recovery equipment.
In competition with Iron Armory, Northern Gun has been working on a number of upgrades for the newly manufactured versions of the LAV to make it more combat effective. Some of the upgrades include the addition of external armor, the replacement of the secondary weapons with more powerful weapons, and the upgrading of the main battery of the gun carrying versions of the vehicle. Another important feature is the addition of robot vehicle sensors and life support systems.

Weapon Systems:
- LAV-25 Armored Personnel Vehicle:
- 25 mm Chain Gun: Mounted as the main gun of the armored vehicle
and is surprisingly capable when using new ammunition. The chain gun uses
the same Wellington Ramjet ammunition that is used in the AV-8 Harrier
conversions which are also refitted by Golden Age. The turret can traverse
through 360 degrees and can be angled up to 60 degrees and down by 10 degrees.
Changing belts of ammunition (200 rounds reach) requires about three minutes
for a trained crew
Maximum Effective Range: 5,000 feet (1,524 meters)
Mega-Damage: 2D4x10 for a burst of 20 round, 3D4 for each round.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the gunner's hand to hand attacks; each burst counts as one melee action.
Payload: 200 rounds (10 bursts) of 25 mm ammunition in ready magazine and 400 rounds in additional 25 mm ammunition in the body of the vehicle. - 7.62 Machine Gun (1): The weapon is mounted Coaxial (on the
side of the turret) and is designed to protect the vehicle from infantry
attacks. Uses WI-10 Ramjet rounds to increase the weapons damage. While
the weapon has been refitted using Wellington ammunition, it is still considered
underpowered by most crews. As a result, the weapon is commonly replaced
by a rail gun or a Wellington automatic grenade launcher.
Maximum Effective Range: 2,000 feet (609.6 m)
Mega Damage: One round does 1 M.D.C. to M.D.C. targets or 3D6x10 S.D.C. to soft targets. Twenty round bursts do 2D4 M.D.C.
Rate of Fire: Equal to combined hand to hand attacks of gunner
Payload: 400 rounds (20 bursts) of 7.62 mm ammunition in ready magazine and 1,200 rounds in additional 7.62 mm ammunition in the body of the vehicle.
- 25 mm Chain Gun: Mounted as the main gun of the armored vehicle
and is surprisingly capable when using new ammunition. The chain gun uses
the same Wellington Ramjet ammunition that is used in the AV-8 Harrier
conversions which are also refitted by Golden Age. The turret can traverse
through 360 degrees and can be angled up to 60 degrees and down by 10 degrees.
Changing belts of ammunition (200 rounds reach) requires about three minutes
for a trained crew
- LAV-AD Air Defense Vehicle:
- 25 mm GAU-12 Gatling Cannon: Mounted as the main gun of the
armored vehicle and is surprisingly capable when using new ammunition.
While mainly designed to be used against aircraft, it is also useful against
heavily protected ground targets. The Gatling cannon is identical to the
weapon mounted in the AV-8B Harrier and uses the same Wellington Ramjet
ammunition as is used in the attack aircraft. The turret can traverse through
360 degrees and can be angled up to 60 degrees and down by 10 degrees.
Changing belts of ammunition requires about three minutes for a trained
crew
Maximum Effective Range: 5,000 feet (1,524 meters)
Mega-Damage: 2D4x10 for a burst of 20 round, 3D4 for each round.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the gunner's hand to hand attacks; each burst counts as one melee action.
Payload: 380 rounds (19 bursts) of 25 mm ammunition in ready magazine and 600 rounds in additional 25 mm ammunition in the body of the vehicle. - Short Range Stringer Style Missile Launchers (2): Mounted
to either side of the Gatling Cannon on the main turret. The weapon system
has been adapted to carry Rifts style short range missiles in the place
of stingers. It is considered useful against ground targets as well as
aircraft but the short range reduces the weapon's effectiveness when used
for bombardment. The turret can traverse through 360 degrees. Additional
missiles need to be hand loaded from inside the vehicle.
Maximum Effective Range: Varies with missile types, short range missiles only (See revised bomb and missile tables for details.)
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile types, short range missiles only (See revised bomb and missile tables for details.)
Rate of Fire: Can fire missiles one at a time or in volleys of two (2), four (4), or eight (8) missiles (Reloads are hand loaded and require 1 minute per missile).

Rate of Fire: Can fire missiles one at a time or in volleys of two (2) or four (4) missiles (Reloads are hand loaded and require 1 minute per missile).
Payload: each launcher carries 2 medium range missiles for a total of 4 medium range missiles. Carries 4 medium range missiles as reloads inside vehicle.
- Medium Range Missile Launchers (2): Launchers replace TOW
missile launchers with medium range missile launchers in the original anti-tank
versions and are useful in a variety of roles. The weapons are useful in
the anti-armor role as well as against aircraft and as missile style artillery.
The turret can traverse through 360 degrees. Additional missiles need to
be hand loaded from inside the vehicle.
- LAV-MGS Mobile Gun System:
- M68A1 105 mm Cannon: Very similar to the cannon carried on
the M-1 Abrams but is of a smaller caliber. Weapon is designed to use against
heavily armored targets. It can fire a variety of loads, including high-explosive
(HE), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT), armor-piercing explosive (AP),and
armor piercing sabot-discarding solids (APSD). The mount / turret is designed
to be low profile so that when the rest of the vehicle is hiding behind
cover, it is hard to detect. The turret can rotate 360 degrees and the
gun can elevate 55 degrees. Fired by the main gunner and has an automatic
loading system.
Maximum Effective Range: 6,000 feet (1828 meters) for direct fire and indirect fire range of 20,000 feet (6,000 meters).
Mega-Damage: High Explosive (HE): 1D4x10+10 with a blast radius of 15 feet (4.6 feet), High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT): 2D4x10+10 with a blast radius of 8 feet (2.4 meters), Armor Piercing (AP): 6D6 with no blast radius, and Armor Piercing Sabot-Discarding (APSD): 1D6x10+10 with no blast radius (optional rule is that cannon gets a critical on a natural 18, 19, or 20 due to its high penetration.)
Rate of Fire: A Maximum of four (4) attacks per melee.
Payload: 18 rounds.
Bonuses: Has a special fire control computer that helps to aim the cannon. Gives +1 to strike with cannon and vehicle does not have minuses to fire when tank is moving.

Battlefield
Mortars for Rifts for more details.
- Optional Top Mounted Machine-Gun (1): Except for the LAV-AD
Air Defense Vehicle, all versions of the LAV can carry a top mounted weapon
system. These weapons primary purpose is for use against aircraft but are
often used against infantry as well. They uses Wellington Ramjet rounds
to increase the weapons damage. While the weapons have been refitted using
Wellington ammunition, it is still considered underpowered by most crews.
As a result, the weapons are commonly replaced by a rail gun or a Wellington
automatic grenade launcher.
- 12.7 millimeter Machine-Gun: More powerful of the two possible
weapon systems but still quite underpowered compared to most rail guns.
The weapon does not use the same ammunition as the co-axial mounted machine-gun
in the LAV-25.
