Weighing in at a meager 14 tons, the Sandblaster is an ICE-powered hovercraft with a top speed of 162 kph. While only protected by two tons of standard armor, its main defense is its evasiveness and speed. A holy terror on the field to infantry, the Sandblaster comes with half a dozen machine guns mounted to a turret. As the craft is only crewed by one man, the turret comes with a simple camera and monitor system tied to a rudimentary targeting system so that the pilot can gun down his target. In packs, the Sandblaster will live up to its name, sanding down even the heaviest of armor off of the heaviest of vehicles and 'Mechs, while evading the strongest of attacks.

Actual BattleTech vehicle construction rule: For every 15 tons or fraction thereof of vehicle weight, the vehicle gains one extra crew member. This means that vehicles that are 15 tons or less are crewed by a single pilot. Something like a Schrek PPC Carrier, on the other hand, needs six crew.
