Cyberworld NERCC Helicopter Gunship v1.0 (TL 08) The specs for a NERCC helicopter are different from army requirements. The blacktops don't worry about enemy fighters, radar detection or armored targets, but they have to watch the collateral damage (in most areas ...). The gunship has a 15mm minigun (ver|cr|15d|13|16|1,500|6,000|40|1,500), two gyroc MGs (with SLAP ver|cr|6d|18|9|1,800|2,500|10|1,500) and optional hardpoint loads - usually fuel tanks, but rocket pods are kept in storage. The armor will resist most machineguns, the IR cloaking helps against heat- seekers and the sound baffling will prevent detection until it is too late. The gunship uses early TL08 technology [Vehicles Mar. 96 errata sheet] comparable to GURPS Cyberworld and ammo from UT.
