- Stockpile caption

The Archer Guntruck is equipped with two Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine guns mounted on 360 degree turning rings, which provide adequate defense and mobility in the heat of battle. Also the guntruck itself is quite armored and can withstand a good amount of small arms fire and although explosives will destroy one easily, it is more resistant to them compared to civilian vehicles. Also due to the large frame of the truck, you can simply ram it into other, smaller enemy vehicles such as the Iguana.

They are stationed at UP roadblocks in and around Maracaibo.

Real Life
The Archer Guntruck appears to be based off of an American cargo truck known as the Stewart and Stevenson M1078. In-game, the Archer Guntruck looks identical to the family of the AN "Emissary" trucks (Emissary, Emissary Tanker and Emissary Semi).
