The Karin Technical Aqua is an amphibious armed pickup truck, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Import/Export update.
Design[]
The Technical Aqua is an amphibious variant of the Technical, which is also a variant of the Rusty Rebel. The overall appearance seems to emulate the "Toybota", a fourth generation Toyota Hilux amphi-car built by Jeremy Clarkson that was used to cross the Rudyard Resevoir on Top Gear. The drums on the side also gives the Technical Aqua a resemblance to the "Nissank", a Nissan D21 amphi-car also built by Clarkson, which he used to cross the English Channel.
The truck retains the same design and features as the aforementioned vehicles, but adds two oil drum floats attached to the bed of the truck and a motorized boat engine on the rear, which steers in conjunction with the car's steering system, and the propeller is coupled to the engine drive systems (visible when the truck is on water). Its front end features a combination of the two bull bar sets from the standard Rebels, except that the rally lamps are replaced by a winch.
Like the Rusty Rebel and the Technical, the Technical Aqua is painted with a single primary colour on the bodywork, which can be resprayed through any mod shop. It also uses eight spoke rims with high-profile off-road tyres, with a rusty appearance on the rims.
Like the Technical, the vehicle is equipped with a machine gun turret resembling a DShK 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine gun, with the same sight resembling the anti-aircraft optical sight used on the real-life weapon.
Performance[]
Vehicle[]
The truck shares a similar performance with the Technical and the regular versions, being a nimble and fast vehicle with good traction for off-road environments. However, due to the increased mass, it is slower than the regular versions for most situations, although this also means better grip, traction and stability. The vehicle can also travel in water thanks to the modifications, although its performance is severely reduced as with most amphibious vehicles, with decreased speed and certain difficulty to turn and reverse, especially on stormy waters.
The truck is powered by the same V8 engine as its regular counterparts, and retains the same 5-speed gearbox and AWD layout (with a 30% front, 70% rear torque distribution). It shares the same diesel sound from the Technical, the Rancher XL and the Cavalcade.
Armour[]
Being an improvised combat vehicle and unlike the Insurgent Pick-Up, the Technical Aqua does not have any sort of defensive capabilities against both targets on foot and combat vehicles, especially tanks and helicopters. The front occupants may get shot through the windscreen and the gunner may fall of if the vehicle rolls over, either suffering a considerable damage or dying from being crushed by the same vehicle. The lack of armour also makes it vulnerable to explosives in general.
Weaponry[]
Machine Gun: Like the Technical, the Technical Aqua comes equipped with a 50. calibre machine gun turret, which shares the base damage of 200, the same fire rate of 333 rounds per minute and the maximum range of 500 meters/1640 feet. It also retains its excellent rotation angle of 360 degrees and elevation angle of between -35 and 45 degrees, providing impeccable defence against helicopters, pursuing cars, and targets at almost below the truck when in elevated areas.
However, as a compromise for its power, the gunner is almost completely exposed, as it has no defensive parts. Also, because of the limited accessibility and space within the vehicle, the gunner is forced to stay in the turret, and killing them renders the vehicle defenceless against larger threats. The front occupants are still able to use drive-by weapons, though.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the original Technical, the Technical Aqua cannot be converted to the Technical Custom in a vehicle workshop, as it is classed as a Special Vehicle.
- Due to first-person camera POV issues, the player cannot switch to First-Person View while driving it on water. If they have FPV enabled beforehand, when the car enters water it would be disabled.
