Designed on a heavy quad tracked chassis the first Zerstoerer was equpipped with slow reloading auto smoothbore mortars that were modfied to be fired at targets withing line of sight.
To achieve this special liquid binary proppelant was used, while it was not exactly soldier proof the ability to deal the pain and even be used as indirect weapon the Zerstoerer was an incredible success.
However waste heat was an issue, so the designers choose to add more radiators and coolant and changing the weapons to Charged Particle Beam weapons, increasing the devastating firepower even further. This **Brute **firepower comes for the price of thinner armor, anyhow
Different attempts to get the Zerstoerer to work as **Sniper **included the mount of dual magnetic accelerator cannons and a tripple of rifled 105mm cannons. The later variant also added several fast firing machine guns, loaded with the right ammunition the **Reaper **can mow down whole columns of light or unarmored target in mere seconds.
