limited off-road performance.

Type 60-1
Notes: This is a
tracked load carrier used by China to tow field guns and howitzers, and carry
their ammunition. It is similar in
concept to the US M-548 (though it looks different).
The Type 60-1 may tow a load of 15 tons, or carry 5 tons.
The forward cab is large to accommodate the driver and gun crew, and the
roof of this cab has a mount for a DShK machinegun.
Behind the cab are stowage bins for the crews' personal equipment, and at
the rear is a canvas-covered cargo area.
The vehicle has a rear-mounted winch with a capacity of 17 tons and 75
meters of cable. The Type 60-1 is
also used as the chassis of the 273mm Type 83 MRL.

WCT-1
Notes: “WCT” is
the English translation of the truck’s name, standing for “Water Cannon Truck.”
And that’s what it is; it’s a large truck with a pair of water cannons up front
and a large water tank in the rear.
Its use is as an antiriot vehicle; the water cannons are sufficient to knock
down four people standing in a group while doing little physical damage to them.
The WCT-1 can also fire CS, marking dye, and a slippery foam. These
substances are fed to the water cannons instead of water when selected. A
ramming bumper, mesh over the windows, and flashing lights on the roof of the
cab help complete the equipment. A spare tire is mounted atop the center of the
vehicle, and the tires are run-flat tires.
The WCT-1’s
water cannons are fed from a 9000-liter water tank; this allows 900 seconds of
target spraying. The cannons are
mounted on the roof behind the cab and rotate.
They have a “gun camera” on them that allows the crew to fire the cannons
from inside the vehicle. The
cannons also have spotlights on top of them to further aid observation. The
water cannons have a range of 50 meters.
Each cannon can fire a different substance if necessary. When firing CS,
it starts out as a liquid stream with a range of 25 meters; then it reaches its
destination, treat it as a CS hand grenade with the burst as being the place
where the stream hits. The stream
is 1 meter wide and 25 meters long.
The dye stream is used for marking targets for possible later apprehension or to
blind them, and is a very sticky dye that is difficult to wash off.
The dye stream is similar to the CS stream, but has no burst radius other
than by splashing. It has no
permanent effect on the target. The foam is a 2-meter-wide stream 25 meters long
and in a 20-degree arc. The ground
area is covered in a foam that requires those in the area (unfortunately, police
and troops included) to roll each phase Impossible: Dexterity to stand up.
This slippery property lasts for 1 hour.
The truck has separate tanks for each substance; 150 liters of CS, dye,
and foam are carried, enough for 10 shots each.
The WCT-1 has a
crew of six; the driver, vehicle commander; and a crewmember who is a specialist
in each type of substance carried.
Behind the cab on each side is a large door, allowing the crew to get in and
out. The truck is NBC sealed but not radiologically shielded, as the NBC sealing
is designed to keep the crew from being affected by CS gas.
The crew also has a vehicular NBC system as a backup, and the masks can
be disconnected to allow for escape from the vehicle if necessary.
Air conditioning and heating is provided, as well as a 20-liter tank for
drinking water. The large windshield up front and on the sides of the cab and
the doors are bullet-resistant and the vehicle has a modicum of protection,
mostly against pistol rounds.
The suspension
of the WCT-1 is 4x6, and primarily designed for street travel and to run over
low-obstacles in the way. The
ramming bumper can be used to clear larger obstacles.
The truck is powered by an Arrayal 331-horsepower diesel engine that also
powers the water cannons and the pumps for the water and other substances, as
well as the AC and heater and NBC Overpressure system.
