The APC appears roughly similar to a WWI tank, but is wider and shorter. The cannons are mounted, one a side, in sponsons allowing 90 degree traverse from directly ahead to directly to the side. A turret with a Gatling gun gun is provided to help fend off enemy infantry. Two more Gatling guns are provided, mounted bow and stern.
There is a large oval door on each side of the APC, behind the sponsons. There is also a hatch for the driver in front and for the stokers at the rear.
