The '''Sabre Gun Platform''' is a static defensive emplacement used by the [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Planetary Defense Forces]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
They are favoured by armoured and support [[regiment]]s,{{Fn|2}} and regiments tasked to defend a strategic location, where they are issued to [[Heavy Weapons Platoon]]s in place of their normal load-out.{{Fn|1}} Two [[Guardsmen]] are needed to crew the platform, which features dual heavy-weapon mounts able to be fitted with standard Imperial Guard weapons for ease of supply and maintenance. Common mountings include [[twin-linked]] [[Heavy Bolters]] for anti-personnel duty, twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s for anti-armor firepower, and either twin-linked [[Autocannon]]s or quad-mounted [[Heavy Stubber]]s for air defence.{{Fn|2}} In place of weaponry some Sabre platforms will instead mount a massive [[Searchlight]] for illuminating targets in darkness.{{Fn|1}}

Though the Source {{Fn|1}} stated that two crewmen are needed to operate the Sabre Gun Platform, Source {{Fn|4}} says that one infantryman is enough.
