I think it was described as an anti-aircraft weapon in the fold-out catalogue that came with the boxed vehicles, but it's pretty apparent that its array of cannons are composed of smooth-bore type weapons more associated with field artillery.
Never really a fan of the Joe vehicles, myself, though, except maybe for the VAMP and the AWE Striker, and the Dreadnok Thunder Machine and Cobra Stinger.
I can't say the same without sounding like a hypocrite as 20 plastic containers an 15 boxes of vehicles would betray me. I loved them all and I went a little crazy army building Cobra through ebay. although one vehicle I still don't like is the HAVOC. Loved it as a kid but now I moved it to the Urban team.
