175mm of screaming death, The Slugger

Added some pong range support to my Pulp 1980s project.  The Slugger is a self-propelled 175mm artillery piece, based on the US M107 175mm self propelled howitzer. The Slugger's maximum range is 35 miles. It has a .30 caliber machine gun for self defense. It weighs 29 tons and has a maximum road speed of 40 miles per hour. 

The G.I. Joe Slugger was a straight cut power house piece of modern artillery that never really had a place in the G.I. Joe universe. The Large Barrel and the brace scoop in the back screamed explosive potential exceeding that of anything built in its time. Thunder was the perfect match for the equipment he piloted. The darkened visor and large muffler headset proclaimed the volume of which the Slugger poured out its wrath upon the enemy. Together they would live in obscurity hanging out in the motor pool waiting on that perfect mission that would allow them to unleash their bottled up destruction and divided they would fall, the slugger forgotten and Thunder hailed as a Real American Hero.

General Hawk orders the Slugger to begin shelling the Cobra positions.


Breaker, confirm if the targets are hit.

Dusty walks another forward.

Steel Brigadiers man the emplacements.

175mms of Death!

Cobra is going to feel this!

More to come,
