The turret ring has a diameter of 1.36 meters; the tub has a depth under the hull roof of 0.71 meters; from the tub floor to the turret roof is about 1.3 meters. The turret crew should be less than 1.85 meters tall; preferably, less than 1.7 meters tall. The gunner (right side) and commander (left side) each have a roof hatch. The turret mounts an Rh202 autocannon with two 100-round belts of ammunition loaded, and a coaxial Stoner MG with 600 rounds of ammunition loaded; there is a pintle-mounted MAG-58 in front of the commander's hatch (n.b.:  the drawings use the term loader, instead of commander) with 100 rounds of ammunition on the gun (plus 1400 rounds stowed in the turret), and another pintle-mounted MAG-58 at the rear deck hatch on the hull, also with 100 rounds of ammunition on the gun (plus 200 rounds stowed near the hatch).
