"Say hello to our little friend!"

The GL Technical is a vehicle used by the Russian Mafia in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

Overview
"We've just made a good thing even better with our newest addition to the technical family--the 40mm machine gun. Did we say 40mm? That's right, it's a fully automatic grenade launcher! Take one home today!"

- Merchant of Menace store description

The first variant of the MG Technical. This version is exactly the same as the regular technical but this time it now contains a 30mm Grenade launcher instead of a the 12.7mm machine-gun.

Unlike the MG Technical it is rarer and can only sometimes be seen driving around, mostly in the Northern Province, but it can be brought from the Russian Mafia online shop "Merchant of Menace" after completing 'Raw Materials'.

Tactics
The GL is much more effective at taking out groups of soldiers due to it having extra splash damage. It also does a very good job at destroying light-armoured scout vehicles such as the KPA Sungri Scout. The grenades are shot out fast and can easily catch up with moving vehicles and military personal. One major downside to the GL is that when the weapon is being used by another soldier very commonly when shooting at moving vehicles in front of the technical you may occidentally drive into them if going too fast.

Real life
The Mafia Technical seems to be based on the 1980s Toyota Hilux.
