+The **Riegert Viper**, later redesignated **RPW.4 Viper** under the post-WW2 [[:new_standard|New Standard]], was an armoured scout car which served with the [[:orgs:federal_army|Federal Army]] for almost 40 years. Fit for light reconnaissance, screening and liaison, the vehicle was initially open-topped, armed with a single pintle-mounted 7.92mm [[:weapons:mg49|MG49]].
+The Viper received progressive armament upgrades over its service life: a turret to enclose its gunner and their MG49, which was later upgunned to a 13mm [[:weapons:mg51|MG51]], and eventually a major overhaul in the form of a redesigned turret to house a 20mm autocannon.
