Technical

A Technical is an improvised fighting vehicle featured in both Modern Warfare installments of the Call of Duty series.

Modern Warfare
Technicals are seen in "Charlie Don't Surf" and "Death From Above" in Call of Duty 4. They are red or white 4WD pickups, each with a mounted 50cal. MG on them. A destroyed technical is also seen in the back alley of the multiplayer map Crash.

Modern Warfare 2
There are at least two technicals seen in "Team Player". The Militia has three technicals in "The Hornet's Nest" with a Browning M2, in two cases the gun is usable. Shadow Company in "The Enemy of My Enemy" have their own version of a technical, a black "Vioxy" (in-game pseudonym for Chevy Suburban) SUV with a mounted Gatling minigun, though these are not, by definition, technicals. Technicals that are used by the OpFor can be seen in "Endgame".

Trivia

 * It's possible but unlikely to be killed by one in the beginning "Charlie Don't Surf" on Veteran.
 * Oddly, if the player attempts to use an RPG-7 on the Technical in "Charlie Don't Surf", the rocket will always curve away from it and miss.
 * The M2 machine gun on the back of the Technical in "The Hornet's Nest" can be used; However it shows the use icon for the M249 SAW, since there is no use icon for the M2.
 * In Call of Duty 4, if the player kills the driver of the technical, the vehicle will immediately burst into flames.
 * In very rare cases in the mission "Enemy of my Enemy" it is possible to disable a Shadow Company Technical by simply shooting the gunner with a sniper weapon. Why this is makes little sense as the driver would be well shielded.
 * On a few Modern Warfare 2 maps, such as Carnival, destroyed Technicals can be found outside the map, used as scenery.
 * In "Charlie Don't Surf," it takes several (3 or 4) RPG-7 rockets to destroy the Technical, even though it is a simple pickup truck.
 * In "Second Sun," one can find destroyed Technicals ( complete with machine gun) littering the streets of Washington D.C. This is most likely because it would have taken more memory to create a model for regular pickup truck.
