Chaingun Warthogs have been employed on both the [[M12 Warthog]] and [[M12B Warthog]] chassis types, all unified with the presence of a [[12.7×99mm Armor-Piercing|12.7x99mm]] chaingun of some variety.

M12B variants of LRV, introduced in [[2552]], serve the same basic function as their forebears, though have upgraded armament to suit their upgraded chassis. M12B Chaingun Warthogs typically employ the [[M46 Vulcan]] chaingun, though some introduced by late 2558 employ the [[M343A2 chaingun]].
