New Equipment

[kai927]

Throughout the militaries there are several pieces of equipment that may differ in appearance, but still serve the same function. Some of these are listed below:

    Chemical protective mask:
    Cost: 100 TL: 5 Weight: 1.5
    A mask that covers the whole head. When worn, it uses a filtration system to protect the wearer from inhaled chemical agents. It also comes with a rubber-like hood that covers the head and neck, protecting the entire head from contact chemical agents.

    Chemical protective suit:
    Cost: 300 TL: 5 Weight: 3
    A suit that is worn in conjunction with the chemical protective mask. It is made of either cloth with a layer of chemical neutralizing material or of rubber impregnated cloth. The suit comes with rubber gloves and boots protecting the whole body from contact chemical agents.

    Geiger counter:
    Cost: 350 TL: 5 Weight: 2
    A small electronic device about the size of a paper back book. It detects and displays dosage of radiation in rads per turn. It can also give a readout of the total dosage of radiation received over a period of time.

    Radiac meter:
    Cost: 20 TL: 5 Weight: negligible
    A small pen sized device with radiation reactive chemicals inside. When held up to a light source and looked through, total rad dosage can be determined by the color of the internal chemicals.
    Note: The radiac meter does not detect rads per turn, just total dosage.

    Biodetector:
    Cost: 400 TL: 6 Weight: 3
    A biodetector is an electronic device the size of an average toaster. It can detect the presence of airborne biological agents. When it does detect an airborne biological agent it emits a high pitched alarm. The biodetector will not however identify the bioagent type.

    Chemical detector:
    Cost: 400 TL: 6 Weight: 3
    Much like the biodetector, this electronic piece of equipment can detect chemical agents in the air and gives off an audible alarm when it does. It will not identify the type of chemical agent however.

    Personal medkit:
    Cost: 30 TL: 6 Weight: .5
    A medical kit for individual soldiers. It is stored inside a pouch that may be attached to the LBV. It contains 1 large field bandage, 3 doses of poison neutralizer, 3 doses of pan-spectrum anti-biotic, 3 doses of pain killer, and 3 doses of stun-stim.

    Load bearing vest (LBV):
    Cost: 50 TL: 3 Weight: 2
    A vest with many pockets and loops for attaching things. It is used to carry the ammunition and various other things that a field soldier needs in combat.

    Sniper suit:
    Cost: 100 TL: 4 Weight: 4
    A camouflage suit with thick canvas on the front. The back has many strips of frayed burlap, which are dyed forest colors, attached. The suit also has a hood that can be pulled over a helmet with the burlap strips as well. The suit gives the wearer the appearance of being a bush, underbrush, or moss covered log. The canvas front is to allow the wearer to crawl without scratching and scraping up the front of their torso. In game effects it gives a -4 penalty to awareness/notice skill checks to spot the wearer when they are among vegetation.

    Paraglider:
    Cost: 500 TL: 5 Weight: 10
    A large, rectangular, steerable, parachute which deploys from a pack carried on the back. This parachute is typically used in HALO and HAHO drops. (See insertion techniques.) A parachute can be either manually deployed by pulling the ?rip cord? or it can be deployed through the use of a ?static line? which automatically pulls the rip cord as the individual exits the aircraft.

    Parachute:
    Cost: 300 TL: 4 Weight: 10
    A basic parachute made from a silk like material. It is not capable of gliding or being steered such as a paraglider is. A parachute can be either manually deployed by pulling the ?rip cord? or it can be deployed through the use of a ?static line? which automatically pulls the rip cord as the individual exits the aircraft.

    HALO/HAHO gear:
    Cost: 500 TL: 5 Weight: 15
    This equipment is used when a person jumps from an aircraft at very high altitude where the oxygen is very thin. The equipment consists of an oxygen tank, oxygen mask, and hose, protective eye goggles, and a wrist altimeter that can be set with an audible alarm. The oxygen tank is good for one jump only and must then be refilled.

    STABO gear:
    Cost: 50 TL: 4 Weight: 3
    This is the harness and clips used to be picked up by helicopters and vectored thrust aircraft.

    SKYHOOK gear:
    Cost: 300 TL: 4 Weight: 20

    Battle Dress Uniform (BDU):
