Fun Facts

​

• The Hammer was designed to transport G.I. Joe personnel rapidly while providing substantial return fire.

• Its combination of missiles, side guns and pulse cannon makes it more heavily armed than a conventional military jeep.

• The side guns can be deployed from their mounts, giving the vehicle a wider combat configuration.
