It embarks 36 rounds and is typically operated by a crew of five or six, though it can be operated by a crew of three if necessary. It has a firing range of approximately 40 kilometres with ranges of more than 50 kilometres being achieved through the use of rocket assisted shells. The Beithíoch is equipped with a fully-armoured four-person cabin, ballistic computer, an automated laying system, and a muzzle velocity radar, and is able to integrate into any C4I system.
