The basic outfit of the ''Bataís'' features a 7.62mm or .50 caliber machine gun and seating for three crew and ten men, though in practice, eight were seated as dismounts. Crew consist of a commander/radio operator, driver, and gunner. Optional variations in armament included a 1" autocannon or an ATGM launch system, both of which require the gunner to sit below and use a periscope or modern optics depending on the model (this must be reloaded by hand, typically with 4 or 6 total rounds in most doctrines depending on the seating of 8 or 10 dismounts). Modern variants include a counterspall lining, onboard computer, additional digital optics, and ergonomic, mechanical and engine improvements. Two engineering and two self-propelled gun variants were developed off the ''Bataís''.

Due to its varied armament, the Type 1951 can be considered an armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle in its armed variants. Both are classed as ''Feithicil Troda Armúrtha'' (Armored Fighting Vehicle) in [[Fhasen]], a term which encompasses combat transports generally.
