Flatbed Trucks are not designed for combat. As such no manufacturer builds them with integrated weapons. Drivers who are operating in dangerous situations (civil war, invaded world, etc.) will often add some small weapons like a [[Machine Gun]] or [[SRM-2]] to deter attackers. Other drivers will attempt to increase protection by adding extra armor to the truck, but this often increases the maintenance requirements of the truck due to increased weight.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

*;Mortar : This is an [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technology]] variant of the Flatbed Truck also introduced during the Star League era. This variant drops the vehicle's cargo capacity entirely for offensive firepower, possibly for convoy defense. While retaining the base model's armor capacity, the vehicle is given a pair of rear-mounted [[Mech Mortar/1]]s.  The Mortars use anti-infantry rounds. BV (2.0) = 64<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 8, "Flatbed Truck (Mortar)"</ref>
