Model 2020

The 2020 isa revolver style plasma cartridge pistol released by Remmington. Styling afterthe larger magnum sized revolvers, made to look intimidating. 2020's usuallycome in a nice silver-like polish or a brushed metal finished to give them abit of a old west feel. The cylinder can be removed entirely and quicklyreplaced with another one to speed up reloads. This feature also allows theuser to switch between the RP-03 Medium or RP-2 Standard cartridges merely byswitching cylinders. The user can reload a cylinder that is still in the weaponlike a normal revolver, but does take longer unless one uses a speed loader.

RollingThunder

The RollingThunder is considered a heavier weapon, on par with an automatic grenadelauncher in fire power, but not as flexible. It looks like a large rifle styleautomatic grenade launcher, including ammo drum hung underneath. RP-04cartridges are standard, although later models, the A2, has been modified sothat modified drum can be loaded that is filled with mini grenades. The A2model has a selector near the safety to switch between grenade and plasmacartridge. The two can not be mixed in the same drum.

RemingtonModel 2018

The model2018 was produced by Remington to coincide with the invention of the 16 gaugerounds. The new 16 gauge rounds are smaller than 12 gauge, but have the powerof 12 gauge. Remington has also made variant rounds similar to any available in12 gauge available for the 16. This has led many people to switch to the newerweapon and still have all the variant ammunition they had in the old 12 gaugerange. Two versions of the 2018 are available, the civilian pump action, and asemi automatic version that is clip or drum fed.

[kronos182]

Vintage Arms is acompany run by a small group of alien engineers that were fascinated by thesheer variety of arms that humans have created over the years, and how somehumans will favour old designs while newer ones make a far more obvious choice.Deciding to see if they can make a profit from this fascination amongst humansand other races looking for something a little different.
They have been searching through Earth's history and ancient designs lookingfor ones that have a long history of popularity and reliability and even atsome eccentric designs that might catch their fancy.
In their search, they not only uncovered weapons, but also vehicles andaircraft that have caught their fancy and are beginning work on updating thedesigns with newer equipment.


VA1911RP
The VA1911RP is a rail gun pistol modelled after the Colt 1911. Using Grongahrailgun technology, allows the weapon to remain small without having to have apower pack to power the magnetic accelerator. Using the naturally magneticminerals of the Grongah homeworld, the weapon doesn't require as much power todirect the magnetic field down the barrel. The weapon comes with 5 emptymagazines which have built in power cells that contain enough power to fire allthe rounds in the magazine. These magazines come with a power dock forrecharging after they are refilled.
The VA1911RP has decent range for a pistol, and a larger magazine than theoriginal, and commands respectable damage, although its only about the same asthe average Grongah rail pistol, using a very reliable firing mechanism. Eventhough the hammer serves no real purpose in the design, it can still be pulledback, which also disengages the safety. If slowly decocked, it the safety willengage automatically. The slide also moves, even though there is no casings tobe ejected. This is more just for show, but also allows any special ammunitionthat might be loaded that jams to be ejected quickly by pulling back on theslide, popping the round out.

Notes: Looks exactly like a Colt 1911, except for the small digital displaywhich is cleverly disguised, which displays the ammo count and a red light forsafety on while it's being gripped, and a green light when safety off. Has arail under the barrel for mounting laser sight, flashlight or other accessory.Has a digital ammo counter.


VA1911LP
This is a laser pistol version of the VA1911RP. Visually there isn't muchdifference between the two weapons on the outside, nor with the original. Theonly way to tell the difference is the engraving of Vintage Arms 1911LP on theside. The digital display, also disguised like the RP model, instead has apower level bar set in increments of 10 and only changes to digits once itreaches 5 rounds. The slide moves back just for visual effects, and the hammer,when pulled back, the weapon emits an ominous hum, like a power build up sound,but does nothing else. Vintage Arms has also added a small noise maker to theweapon that when it fires, it makes the sound like a real Colt 1911 beingfired. This option can be turned off at the push of a recessed button near thesafety.

VAM29PP
The M29PP is a remake of the old Smith and Wesson M29 .44 magnum, upgraded withplasma technology. The cylinder is actually a modified power pack, whichVintage Arms sells 5 with the weapon. As the weapon is fired, the cylinderrotates, just like it would in a real revolver, but doesn't actually serve anyother purpose. Since the power pack is smaller than those in most weapons, theammo capacity is reduced, but still greater than what a ballistic revolverwould be. To reload the weapon, it breaks open just like the original M29would, and the spent power pack pops out and a new one slid into place, thensnap shut. The hammer just rotates the cylinder and disengages the safety. Asmall digital display shows a power level bar set in increments of 5, and whengets to 5 shots switches to numbers to count down the remainingshots.

VA ThompsonM1RG
Searching through Earth's history, Vintage Arms discovered many references tothe Thompson, or "Tommy Gun" as it is commonly known, caught thedesigners eyes. Keeping in with the love of a fully automatic weapon that firesprojectiles, the M1RG version is a rail submachine gun, which can use either a30 round box or a 120 round drum. Several test users claim that using theThompson on full auto was quite as good as some carnal pleasures of the flesh.Security was necessary to pry a Thompson from one tester who refused to returnit for tests.

VAM1Garand
While researching many of Earth's famous wars, Vintage Arms discovered the M1Garand rifle used by the United States, praised for reliability, the innovativedesign of the clip and being one of the earliest semi-automatic rifles issued toinfantry of any army at the time. VA has created two versions with a variantfor each, a laser based and railgun version, both also featuring a snipervariant each. The railgun version do have a lower ammunition capacity than thelaser versions, but many who choose the railgun version like the fact that evenwith a limited capacity, the ability to use variant ammunition types balancesthis shortfall.

The VAM1RG is the railgun model, well balanced mastercrafted and has excellentrange, if a low ammunition capacity.

VA1895R
As Vintage Arms looks farther into the past for inspiration, they came acrossthe lever action rifles, such as the Winchester 1895, and many others producedby Winchester during the late 1800s. Modeled after the Model 1895, the VA1895Ris a rail gun, with the magazine fit into the stock, instead of using a tubularmagazine as the original did. The lever, instead of being used to chamber thenext round as the VA1895R has full automatic capabilities, triggers a series ofextra capacitors and rails to give the next round a great boost in speed andpower, but alters the rate of fire to single shot. This requires the use of anintegrated power pack that requires recharging after 25 uses. The weapon comeswith a universal power connector to allow for quick and easy recharging, takingabout 30 minutes to recharge.

VA1895R (PL6/7 Personal Firearms
Damage: 3d12

HI LasersLate PL7/Early PL8

HighIntensity Lasers are an advancement in laser technology. Using higherwavelengths, these more powerful lasers deal more damage, have slightly greaterrange, and penetration power. They also require advances in focusing crystalswhich can only be made in microgravities aboard stations in orbit. Featuringdamage comparable to plasma weapons of the same age, but the greater range andarmour penetrating capabilities does make it an attractive alternative toplasma weapons that have dominated the age.

HI LaserPistol
The firstof the HI laser series of lasers, the HI laser pistol is usually issued toofficers in late PL7 before becoming standard issue in PL8. Slightly bulkierthan lasers of the previous age due to the needed extra heat shroud around thebarrel and focusing chambers, some designers start modeling them after ancienthand weapons of Earth's past.

TheTornado 6 Sabot Gun uses superconducting technology to power a discarding-sabotslug through a magnetic accelerator that runs the length of the barrel. Afterthe slug clears the muzzle, the sabot falls away, and a scramjet engineignites, propelling the slug to extreme velocities, allowing for excellentrange and damage from a pistol.

Micro-assistarmor is much like more traditional mid to heavy weight battle armors. Inaddition to armor plating, however, it contains small servo-motors andelectro-flex joint materials. These are then paired with pressure andelectrical impulse sensors, which allow these ‘artificial muscles’ to respondin automatic assistance to the wearer’s movements. These suits allow for,relatively, cheap power armored soldiers. They enhance the wearer’s speed,strength, and include just as advanced HUDs, targeting and communicationsequipment as non-powered battle armor. This armor is used extensively by elitemilitary infantry units, commando units, and some especially high budgetmercenary units. But armor like this is still out of the reach of ‘rank andfile’ troops for most militaries.
Micro-Assist Armor Traits:
AllMicro-Assist power armors, unless otherwise stated, are considered to possess:
AStrength Bonus, which is added to the wearer's strength score.
Heads UpDisplay (HUD), projected on visor or drop-down monocle, with voice activationand attachable keypad.
Nanobeaconthat tracks the wearer’s position and maps it on the HUD as well as commandcenter computers.
HUDSensor-link with a Motion Sensor.
HUDAmmunition Tracker with primary weapon.
HUDTargeting system with primary weapon.
Environmentallysealed with helmet air filters to prevent gas attacks, optionally can attachoxygen tanks and apply emergency quick-seal for vacuum operation.
+4 to Purchase DC

The above is a set of house rules from someone I can't remember who from the WotC forums. I use these rules a lot in my light power armours.

Exo-suitsare much larger and bulkier than Micro-assist armors. They employ larger, morepowerful servo-motors and sometimes even pneumatic movement assistance systems.Operating within one of these is like a cross between walking about in armorand operating a piece of construction equipment. Though pressure and electricalimpulse sensors still monitor the wearer’s movements to aid them, the suitfeels much more sluggish. This is due to the fact that the wearer’s actualmovements would move the suit practically no where, so the full force of thesuit’s servos must come into play before movement really begins, causing anoticeable lag effect, though with time movements become smooth, if stillsomewhat slow. The size of exo-suits allows heavy weapons to be mounteddirectly on the suit, or held in the suit’s hands, rather than needing to becarried by multiple men, or a vehicle. The suits are also robust enough to takea good pounding before they quit, though once they quit you had better get outquick. Because of these two features, exo-suit troops are commonly employed asspearheads in urban assaults and sieges.
Exo-Suit Armor Traits:
AllExo-Suit power armors, unless otherwise stated, are considered to possess thefollowing:
HitPoints, each time the wearer is hit half of the damage is taken by the suit,half by the wearer.
Hardness,all damage is effected by hardness before it is split between the suit andwearer.
StrengthScore, the exo-suit replaces the wearer's strength score while worn.
InitiativePenalty, because of the suit's need to wait for full servo power to kick in oneach movement, there's a noticeable delay, this causes the wearer of anexo-suit to, regardless of quick thinking or reflexes, react slower than othersaround him.
Heads UpDisplay (HUD), projected on visor or drop-down monocle, with voice activationand attachable keypad.
Nanobeaconthat tracks the wearer’s position and maps it on the HUD as well as commandcenter computers.
HUDSensor-link with a Motion Sensor.
HUDAmmunition Tracker with primary and mounted weapons.
HUDTargeting system with primary weapon and mounted weapons.
Environmentallysealed with helmet air filters and fifteen minute gas tanks to prevent gasattacks, optionally can attach additional oxygen tanks for extended vacuumoperation.
+4 to Purchase DC

The above were made by the same person as the Micro Assist armours. I use these for my armour creations as well.

Guppy
The guppy is the next generation of deep sea exploration and salvage suit, oratmospheric diving suit. Although still fairly bulky, it is less so thanprevious versions and can tolerate similar or better depths. Because the suitmaintains the pressure of one atmosphere, preventing the need for decompressionand eliminating decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis. The suit cantolerate depths of up to 4000 feet and has an onboard air supply of 50 hours.The suit also has built with a primitive version of later cybernetic gills,which can allow the user to extend the air supply by 10 more hours, howevermany users complain of the slight charcoal taste of the air when the gills arein use. Also installed is a mini sonar system to help warn against potentialpredators and aids in looking for deep sea wreckage.
A magnetic anomaly detector is also installed, as are two head mounted and onearm mounted lights. Also mounted is a propulsion unit which aids in the user'smovement and for ascending and descending. It has mountings and hook ups to itsHUD for additional sensors and equipment. Each arm also has mounts for toolssuch as large clamps for grabbing large debris. Comes standard with retractablemetal saw, cutters, an underwater torch for welding and cutting. Standard HUDis suit status displaying integrity, power supply, air supply, compass,communications, MAD and sonar readings, depth, time and also includes a voicerecorder for recording notes. It also includes a blackbox in the event of anaccident. The suit also includes a self sealing mechanism similar to fuel tankson aircraft in the event of shark attack. If the suit suffers significantdamage to seriously compromise its integrity and the user's health, anemergency floatation system engages as well as the propulsion system and thecomputer takes over and forces the suit to ascend as quickly as possible, usingthe sonar and MAD to avoid things like rock outcroppings and other largehazards in the way to the surface. The suit will also increase the internalpressure to help keep water from rushing in and drowning theuser.

SeaDog
The Sea Dog is an amphibious armour meant for special forces and other forcesthat specialize in amphibious combat, or perform water landings regularly. Thisarmour is fully sealed and as streamlined as possible while still offeringexcellent protection. It features retractable flippers and fins on the legs andarms to aid in swimming, plus a light propulsion unit is mounted on the backalong with the 5 hour air supply. The armour has neutral buoyancy, so if aperson stops swimming, they'll float where they are, without ascending ordescending. Has emergency floatation device installed as well, whichautomatically engages if the user is unconscious while in the water. Usuallycomes in dark colours and blues to aid in blending in with the water.

SeagullTransport

The Seagullis a troop transport which also has the added bonus of being able to makeamphibious landings, combined with its VTOL systems allow it to land virtuallyanywhere. The Seagull is surprisingly quick and agile for its size, whichallows it to evade enemy fire as it comes into a landing zone. Unfortunatelyits not very well armed with only a chin turret and a pair a concealed minirocket launchers, and a gun in the passenger section that can be used when thedoor is open, that lowers from the roof. There are four ordinance pods underthe primary wings and on top the lower wings. These can be used to carry extracargo, launch drones, quick deploy small sea craft for troops onboard, orweapon pods like rockets. However with pods added this does reduce theseagull's speed and maneuverability slighly. The seagull can carry about 20troops, or 10 power armour troops or a light vehicle, such as an armoured caror jeep plus a few troops. Some of the unique features of the seagull is therotating engine designs, similar to the turbo prop Osprey, which allow it tofly like a helicopter or like a normal jet, but the engines also featureafterburners and multiple vectoring jets to increase manuverability andstability while hovering. This also allows pilots of seagulls to suddenly movesideways or up or down slightly with a powerful thrust from thethrusters. The seagull also features a new form of alumisteel armour whichblends in ceramic tiles, giving it a slight advantage over normal alumisteelhulls against laser weapons as they are being introduced. It also reduces theability of laser guided weapons from locking on properly. In an emergency, theentire cockpit section can jettison and act as a lifeboat for the crew, withemergency beacon, 5 days rations, 5 flares, 3 blankets, space for a weapon and3 clips per crew member, 3 first aid kits. The chin gun is designed to bereloaded while in flight, with the equipment to make the switching of drumsquick. One extra drum is usually standard load for a seagull, although whenheavy combat is expected, two or more drums might be carried. This also allowsthe seagull to carry different ammo drums for switching out relatively quicklydepending on mission profile.
The seagullis 61 ft long with a 62 foot wing span (about 12 squares by 12 squars countingwing span), the large rear door opens down as a ramp, and takes only a moveaction to embark to disembark. With the doors open the passengers havethree-quarter cover, except the person manning the gun, which gets only halfcover.

Weapons
GAU19/C-EX
TheGAU19/C-EX is a caseless, linkless extended barrel version of the older GAU19gatling gun made by General Electrics. It's a three barrelled design to save onweight, and mounted in a turret with 180 degrees coverage mounted in the chinof the seagull. It can be reloaded in flight if extra rounds are carried instorage. The standard ammunition is ZX caseless .50 cal bmg rounds. The barrelsare reinforced for any future development in weapons, such as plasma coated.Seagulls usually carry one extra drum with equipment to reload as a full roundaction.

Note: Ifusing the variant rule of .50 cal is anti-material weapon, then this weaponwill ignore 2 points of Def from equipment, and ignores 5 points ofHardness/Dr, which does make this a nice devasting weapon for lightly armouredtargets and shred through infantry with far greater ease.

Mini RocketLauncher
Mounted inthe wing roots of the upper wings is a pair of mini rocket launchers. Thesegive the seagull some decent punch while keeping ordinance weight down. Therockets are in a rotating cassette so that different types of rockets can becarried and selected depending on mission profile. Standard load is a mix offragmentation, explosive and HEAT rockets. The launcher has a small magneticlaunch system to give the rockets a boost in launching, granting greater rangethan standard mini rockets have. The cassettes are easily replaceable with acrane through the top of the vehicle. The cassettes can also be ejected in anemergency if the weapon jams or is damaged to prevent the rest of the rocketsfrom exploding inside the craft, or even set to detonate shortly after ejectingas an impromptu air burst bomb.

These rackscan mount virtually any weapon that can be mounted on the pylons of anyaircraft currently in production. Or they can carry other ordinance packagessuch as enhanced sensor systems such as EWAC, ECCM systems, UAVs and otherdrones, or small Large sized vehicles, such as bikes, personal water craft.Ordinances cause a -1 maneuverability penalty per pair.


Civilianmodels of the Seagull have the weapon systems removed and can carry an extra 2tonnes of cargo, or carry an extra 10 passengers.
Search andrescue models have enhanced sensors and extra search lights mounted in theplace of the weapons. The wench in the back also has option of a quickattachment for a stretcher, carries fire suppression gear. Two ordinance podscontain large fire suppressor unites, able to cover a 20 x 20 ft area each oneither side of the Seagull.

SeagullMk2

As newtechnology is made available, upgrades were made to the seagull. Advances inminiaturization, advances in propulsion, weapons and defenses have allowed forthe seagull to keep up. The mk2 is farther upgraded with the ability to operateunder water. This makes it even more attractive to naval search and rescue, ormilitary naval operations, especially in insertion and extraction of specialops teams.

ARMORED PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
The interior of the vehicle is especially well armored to protect valuable cargo or important passengers. The protection afforded is such that passengers have a chance of surviving the destruction of the vehicle. For every five points of damage taken by the vehicle, each unit within takes only one point. If the vehicle is destroyed each passenger takes 2d6 points of damage. A reflex save (DC 12)results in half damage. An armored passenger compartment may not be combined with gun slits.

GUN SLITS
Some vehicles are designed to act as mobile fighting platforms for squadrons of infantry. A vehicle fitted with gun slits has its Hardness reduced by 1, but half of all passengers may fire from the inside of the vehicle, gaining the benefits of cover while doing so. Troops firing from a moving vehicle incur a penalty depending on the speed of the vehicle.

STEALTH TECHNOLOGY
A variety of methods have been developed over the ages to make a vehicle harder to detect, from sensor deflecting shapes to reactive camouflage. Sensor deflecting shapes rely on the surface of the vehicle being angled in such a way that sensors such as radar are deflected and register as detecting a much smaller or differently shaped object than they normally would. Sensor deflection only stops the vehicle from being detected by sensors – the vehicle appears as normal visually.
Sensor absorbent material is designed so that sensor beams that strike it are absorbed and not reflected back towards the sensor, preventing it from detecting the vehicle.Sensor absorbent material only stops the vehicle from being detected by sensors– the vehicle appears as normal visually.
Active sensor cancellation technology uses advanced computer algorithms to detect incoming sensors and then project back a different frequency or sensor reading,canceling out the sensors or giving a different reading altogether. Active sensor cancellation technology may be programmed so that the vehicle appears to a sensor as anything that the operator wishes it to, such as a civilian vehicle or a much larger tank.
Active sensor cancellation has no effect on visual identification.
Reactive camouflage is the pinnacle of stealth technology, using cloaking technology and optical arrays to make the vehicle appear as something different – or disappear
altogether. Reactive camouflage works against both sensor and visual detection.
A vehicle equipped with stealth technology increases the DC to detect the vehicle by the amount listed below.

Tires,Special
These are puncture-resistant, run-flat tires, which perform quite well even if deflated.
They have hardness 3 and 5 hit points. As run-flat tires, they don't lose much functionality when deflated; a vehicle with half or more flat tires will still be able to move at highway speed and a vehicle with all flat tires will still be able to move at street speed. Also each flat tire only imposes a -1 penalty to Drive checks. All tires must be special tires to receive these benefits.

Adding armour to civilian vehicles.
Homemade & semi professional.
This is armour that someone with a welder or someone with access to a crew at a machine shop. Usually sheet metal, or other metal is welded to the inside, in panels, or even along the outside to improve its survival. The metal could be recycled or even high quality. As this is an aftermarket alteration, it does hinder the vehicle's performance, and is never as good as a professional armourer.
For PL5, increase Hardness by 1, +1 Def, increase HP by 5 for every size category above medium, so large gains +5, huge +10, etc.The vehicle suffers -10% cargo capacity, -2 to maneuverability and drive checks, -6 squares of speed. The vehicle's weight would increase by 25%.Would cost about a PDC of 15 for the metal and welding supplies.

Professional Armour
This is armour installed by professionals, usually starting with a frame and reinforcing it, plus putting in fitted armoured plating into panels and using armoured panels on doors and body shell. These types of vehicles are used by security forces, diplomatic vehicles, or specialforces such as the FBI or Secret Service.
For PL5, these armoured vehicles get a +50%increase to hardness (round up), gain +10 HP per size category above medium; soa large vehicle gains +10, huge +20, etc. The vehicle suffers a -2 to maneuverability and drive checks, but only -4 squares to speed. Vehicle weight is increased by 25%, increase the vehicle's PDC by +5 and change restriction to Restricted (+2)

For either of the armour options in higher PLs,increase any bonuses by 25% to 50%, depending on materials used, same with penalties.

Off Road Modification
The vehicle is modified for off-road travel, with larger tires, raised suspension, heavier duty springs and shocks, better bumpers and balancing of the vehicle's weight distribution.
Reduce speed by 10%, but gains a +5 bonus to avoid hazards from better handling, +1 maneuverability and general drive checks. Ignores half penalties for moving through rough terrain. Vehicle also suffers half the regular damage it would suffer from a ram attack option.Vehicle weight is increased by 10%. PDC 16

Anti-Laser Aerosol
With the advent of the invention of laser weaponry, various means were developed to counter them. Reflective anti-laser armour works quite well, but can be expensive and also aren't practical in stealth missions. So anti-laser aerosols were invented. Most anti-laser aerosols are grenade shaped devices that release a cloud of fine reflective metallic and ceramic particles. Although not dense enough to obscure visibility, any lasers fired into an anti-laser aerosol cloud are rendered useless.
One anti-laser aerosol grenade fills a 15 foot wide area and lasts for 1d6+1 rounds. Laser weapons fired into or through the cloud do only 1/4 damage and suffer a minus -5 to attack rolls. A strong wind will dissipate a cloud in about 2 rounds. PDC 12 for a box of 10. Vehicle countermeasure versions fill a 30 ft wide area but last only 1d4+1 rounds and cost PDC 13 for 10 uses.

Y-WA02B
The Yamaha Work Arms 02B is a harness with four robotic prehensile limbs used for construction and even scientific purposes. Each limb ends in in two pincher like claws for grasping. These flexible arms are quite strong and useful for picking up heavy objects. The arms can be used for combat, although not designed for it, they'd be better used for grappling than wielding weapons. The arms are controlled by a pair of control gloves and a minor AI to help direct the arms the best way possible for the task at hand. A pair of goggles with abuilt in HUD displays information about the arms, such as the micro cameras in the ends of the limbs, power levels, strength level, and AI recommendations and system errors. The gloves also have feed back systems to aid in fine manipulation, incurring only a -1 penalty to skill checks requiring fine dexterous work.
The arms have a reach of 10 feet, a fixed Strength of 24. If two limbs plant themselves into the ground, the remaining two arms would have an effective Strength of 28 for moving heavier loads but the user will be fixed in place able only to turn 190 degrees side to side. The harness runs off standard power packs, like those used in military weapons. Each pack provides enough power for 5 hours of continuous work. If used for combat, each tentacle has a slam attack dealing 1d6+7, when two limbs are planted that changes to 1d6+9. However the user suffers a -4 penalty to attack using the limbs.

Portable Scrambler Shelter

"Oooh..need something to hide when out hunting, eh? I think we got something just up y'er alley, friend!"

This is a portable folding shelter that can be erected in seconds, providing protection from the elements, limited protection, as well as concealment from electronic and infra-red/thermographic detection.
The‘Shelter’ consists of a yard-long ‘pod’ that looks like a spittoon. When activated, about a dozen articulated ‘spider leg’ structural members of carbon composite branch out, anchor themselves in the ground, and form the skeleton o fa dome-shaped igloo roughly 6 ft tall by 12 ft in diameter. The pod then deploys a cover sheet of special plastics, with a camouflage print, and integral sensor-baffling elements.
The Camouflage pattern sheet can be chemo-switched to any one of seven different configurations. The support elements create a degaussing ‘bubble’ that scrambles radar signals (incoming and outgoing), as well as disrupting magnetic resonances (fouling Magnetic Anomaly Detectors), while the fabric itself insulates and dissipates the infra-red and thermal emissions and signatures of the occupants, rendering those means of detection less effective.
To compensate for the lack of visibility suffered by those inside the shelter, the central pod (now suspended from the center of the igloo’s ‘ceiling’) has an extendable fiber-optic periscope that allows the occupants to scan the surrounding terrain without blowing their cover.
Care must be taken in setting up the Shelter---The igloo is not invisible to naked eyeball optical searches, so ‘blending’ the shelter into the natural landscape contours is essential for best results. For maximum comfort, a ground sheet or surfacing can be put down first.
The entire shelter can deploy/retract for stowage in 30 seconds.
Weight: 25 lbs
Has 20 hit points when deployed. The pod has 25 hit points, 3 hardness.
Bonuses:
Special Features:
*Water-proofing
*Fire Proofing---Can handle temperatures up to 300 degrees centigrade, fire resistance 3.
*Minimal Radiation Shielding(not advised for long-term usage in 'hot zones'). +2 bonus to Fort saves against radiation poisoning, treat radiation damage as one category on a failed Fort save.
*Chameleon-cloth Fabric---Can assume one of seven pre-set color configurations, granting a +6 to hide checks.

Mobile Watch Towers

In an age of advanced electronic sensors and fey wards, the Mark One Eyeball still has a major role. In order to facilitate sentries in their duties, Danor Construction has created a series of portable and erectable watchtowers to allow guards some extra elevation. Mobile watchtowers are typically used for setting up security around temporary field camps and work sites, and for internal security.
Two different types of mobile watchtower are currently available; a ‘cherry picker’model (The Type 1) and the ‘accordian tube’ type (The Type 2). Both types are mounted on pylon-stabilized trailers that can be towed behind a vehicle, locked in place, and elevated to their operational position. The former is based on an articulated armature with a cab-pod on the top. Electrical actuators crank the tower into an upright position; a geared gravity-powered safety brake system lowers the tower.
The second type is based on erectable conning towers originally designed for amphibious tanks, mounted on the cupolas. The system consists of a collapsible ribbed tube of high strength memory-plastics, with a watch-platform or armored cupola on the top. When fully extended for duty, the hollow tube’s internal ribbing acts both as structural reinforcement and as rungs for soldiers climbing up and down inside, allowing personnel to change station without having to lower the tower.
Both towers can be manned or used as mounts for remote sensors, as well as pintle-mount weapons and high-powered spotlights/floodlights(normal light/infrared). Both types have modest protection, enough to shrug off light to moderate weapons fire, but not sustained barrages (as any man at arms can tell you; ‘towers draw fire’.
Both designs feature plasglas panels in the watchtower cabin, and basic air sealing (although soldiers assigned to watch-duty are advised to wear EBA). The wheeled trailer mounts feature retractable jacks to stabilize them and lift the wheels clear, and can also be fitted with drilling ground anchors or even laser-bore stabilization pylons to further anchor the towers into the ground. Portable generators/fuel cells can also be mounted in the trailer-base, or the towers can be hooked up to a central facility power grid.

Banshee

TheBanshee is the brain child of Mitsubishi and Yamaha. Using crystals grown in amicro gravity in labs in orbit which amplify and focus sound waves for use as aweapon. Able to damage most materials plus have the ability to stun people. Aninteresting side effect is the Banshee works perfectly well in water, actuallyeven better, enjoying enhanced range and damage done in a cone area. TheBanshee is also constructed so that it has neutral buoyancy for use in water sothat if you let go of it, it'll just float there, not raise nor sink. This hasraised interest in the Banshee with marine and other forces that deal heavilyin amphibious operations.

A.S.S.K.I.C.R.
TheASSKICR, or Anti Sniper System, Kinetic Induction Combustion Railgun, is ananti sniper weapon system used by very well equipped law enforcements ormilitaries for locating and eliminating sniper threats. The system is a highpowered sensor system with four remote drones designed to locating sniperthreats, then to be removed with the use of the rifle, or in an emergency, theuse of a drone.
Using thebest advances in sensor systems, miniaturization, and robotics to create themost advanced and smallest tracking system that would make many fieldscientists jealous. The whole system is in a large metal case, which includesretractable wheels to ease in transportation. Upon opening the case, one canremove the rifle and its large scope, which is tied to the computer systeminside the case, which also houses the four small, wasp like drones. The userthen powers up the system, then can quickly enter in basic search parameters,such as area type from a list, and search area size.
TheTactical computer is essentially a smaller version of a Class IV mech Sensorsystem, which is tied into the drones and the scope of the rifle. Thisgreatly enhances the range of the sytem from 10 miles to up to 30 miles.Through the scope itself all the abilities are focused up to the scopes range,including the darkvision and spot bonus (about 1 mile while looking through thescope. The tactical computer also has the advantage of an Enigma Sensor Suitethrough the scope and the drones. Through the scope the range is 300 ft, butonly 100 ft from each drone. Images from the drones can be viewed individuallythrough one of four screens in the case, or through the scope. The user cantell a drone to loiter in an area once a target is located, which then paintsthe target with a targeting laser to improve accuracy. Multiple drones willincrease the bonus farther. In an emergency, if time is short or the locationof the user doesn't allow for a clear shot of the target, the drone can be setto attack the target in a suicide run, overloading its power core so that itdetonates upon hitting the target, hopefully killing it.
Thetactical computer, through the use of the scope and the onboard computer systemof the rifle, can program its various ammunition, such as turning a normalexplosive round into an air burst round, or changing the distance from thetarget that a shredder round releases its payload of flechettes, increasing itsarea of effect.

The rifleitself is enhanced for greater range and accuracy. The weapon uses slightlylarger than normal rounds, in the .50 cal range, which allows for it to makeuse of a variety of specialty rounds. Normal ammunition is a tungsten-depleteduranium penetrator round. The favoured rounds of many users for increased killrates is the plasma armour penetrating round.

Clark Mk3

The mk3 is a bullpupassault rifle released by Clark. The foregrip is somewhat modelled after theP90, however the clip is located underneath and connects to the back of theprimary handle in a more conventional manner. The stock is well patted and itsbuilt with a top notch recoil compensation system which makes it a very stableweapon even in autofire mode. The only flaws to the mk3 is it doesn't come withmany bells or whistles besides the large ammo capacity, a mount on the carryinghandle for a scope and clips for a carrying strap and of course its muchvaulted recoil system. The mk3 is available in 5.56mm, although 7.62 mm isavailable. The mk3 is actually designed to be able to make a switch between thetwo sizes fairly quickly, taking a trained soldier about 3 minutes to do theswap with a conversion kit on hand.

Clark Mk3 (PL5)
Damage: 2d8
Critical: 20
Damage Type: ballistic
Range Increment: 80 ft
Rate of Fire: s/a
Size: large
Weight: 9.5 lb
Ammo: 45 box
Purchase DC: 17 Res (+2)
Notes: Due to the recoil system, penalties for double tap and autofire arehalved. The Mk3 can be converted to fire 7.62 mm rounds with a conversion kit,with a PDC 7. Converting the mk3 changes the damage to 2d10, increases weightby 1.5 lb, and reduce ammo to 40 round box.

Clark Mk5
The Mk5,made by Clark, was released as laser weapons were starting to populate thebattlefield, as an alternate to straight laser weapons. The Mk5 is a dualweapon, in an over-under configuration. The top barrel is a variable chargelaser rifle and the under barrel is a ZX propellant 5.56 rifle. The reasoningbehind this was as more armours were being designed to resist laser weaponsfire, they're not quite as protective against the age old bullet, which many asoldier discovered at the end of a Mk5. One of the features that many likeabout the Mk5 is the variable charge, and while as the laser is being charged,the user can still fire the ballistic rifle so that they are not caught withtheir pants down unable to shoot while waiting for the power build up tofinish. The Mk5 is fully ambidextrous, features a two stage trigger, simpleswitch for alternating between laser and ballistic rifle, and a three roundburst mode for both weapons. Also has a simple LCD screen with round counterand charge meter for the laser. Also comes with a x5 scope as standard, and anuplink to a helmet HUD.

Clark mk 12

Lt. Nerzcoughed as the smoke started to clear from the breached wall. An armouredfigured stepped through the hole. She raised her rifle, pointing it at itshead.

"Youthink that pee shooter will hurt me?!" A metallic sounding voice emittedfrom a speaker somewhere on the helmet, "My suit's rated to survive up toa las cannon!" The figure started to laugh.

Nerz pumpedthe fore handle, a satisfying sound to her ears as deuterium was forced intothe weapon. "Lucky for me, I've got ol' Clark here." She fired andthe armoured figure stopped laughing as it hit the ground, a smoking hole inthe faceplate.

The Clarkmk 12 is a plasma rifle modeled after old Earth style shotguns. For the mostpart, it's an average plasma rifle, but has a unique system for some extrapunch. A small deuterium canister can be added to allow the Clark to be turnedinto a plasma cannon. By pumping the forward handle forward then back, theweapon primes itself, engaging the magnetic containment fields, feeding rawdeuterium into the energizing chamber. As the trigger is pulled and plasma isnormally created, the extra deuterium is mixed in and also converted to plasmafar hotter and more powerful than the weapon can normally produce. This abilitygives infantry some extra punch without having to carry an extra weapon,especially when weight is an issue.

ShredderPL6/7

Withadvances in ballistics, metallurgy and weapon designs, some designers thoughtabout resurrecting the flechette weapons. Instead of launching small, dart likeprojectiles from a discarding sabot, like older designs, the Shredder launchesa projectile shaped more like an arrow head, which also helps increase itsrange, plus a deployable fin helps stabilize the flight. The arrow shapedprojectiles are extremely sharp with near mono molecular sharp edges whichallow them to slice through armour and flesh with equal ease. The projectilesare propelled by a form of magnetic propulsion, similar to a coil gun. Manybelieve it was the work in shredders which lead to perfecting the technologynecessary for railguns. An interesting use of shredders is the ammunition canbe used to cut things from afar like ropes or even power cables.

ColonialLaser Rifle

Thecolonial rifle is a fairly rugged laser rifle made available for colonies,especially ones with low manufacturing capacities. The weapon is made as toughand simple as possible, using reliable parts and construction. Instead of usingnormal power packs, the colonial has an internal battery which is rechargeable.Built into the stock is a deployable solar collector. This allows the weapon torecharge when away from a power source. When a power source is available, theweapon has several adaptors to allow it to connect to a wide range of powersources. The only downside anyone has mentioned about the colonial is it's abit heavy, but others say the extra weight makes it good to act as a walkingstick or a good club when defending oneself against local wildlife.

Scorpion
Thescorpion rifle is an illegal weapon. Designed as a fairly sleek weapon,but also looks to be segmented, giving it an insect-like look. A bull pupdesign, with two pronged slightly curved fork like structures extendingout from the end of the barrel, curving in slightly, designed to looklike the claws of a scorpion. These weapons are rare and highly illegaldue to the energy blast they release is quite damaging to its target. Theblast acts similarly to a disintegrator where it starts to breakthe bonds in molecules in the target, but not completely, which makes forextremely painful and difficult wounds to heal. In organic targets, thiscreates particularly devastating wounds as the energy also prevents bloodplatelets from forming properly to clot the blood.
Almost allgovernments ban scorpions and anyone caught in possession of a scorpionis jailed immediately, sometimes even killed on the spot as a potentialterrorist or enemy of the state. No one knows who produces these weapons,as they seem to just appear in random Black Market locals, in batches ofonly about 10 a year.
The onlydrawbacks to the scorpion is its limited range, high power consumptionand low, although painful, damage, and some count the lack of fullautomatic fire a blessing.

Game Note:This weapon is considered to have the Wound special ability, where aliving target hit will continue to take 1 point of damage every rounduntil a Heal check DC 20 is performed with at least a First Aid Kit, orif magic is available, a Cure Light Wounds or better spell is used. Alsoliving targets hit are slightly distracted by the amount of pain ascorpion blast causes, suffering a -1 penalty to attack rolls, Defense,skill and ability checks made until they are healed. This penaltyincreases with each successful hit from a scorpion. Thus if two hits arescored on a target, the penalty would be -2 until the wounds are healed.Any delicate or complicated tasks the target performs after a hit from ascorpion requires a Concentration check of DC 15 + number of times hit bya scorpion before healing. So a person hit twice would have aConcentration check DC of 17.

XM234A
After muchresearch and some explosive results, scientists finally managed to reverseengineer the Covenant plasma rifle. Although bulkier, shorter ranged and asmaller payload, it is a triumph of weapon engineering. Although it doesn'tsuffer quite the same heat problems as the covenant version, but does sufferfrom some. The XM234A also has a far safer heat dissipating system, althoughthey weapon won't fire from 6 to 25 seconds as it dissipates the heat. It canalso make use of a Spartan Laser recharge rack for replenishing the battery.Next generation plasma rifle will see better range and ammo capacity, andhopefully a fix to the heat problem, but only time will tell.
UNSC Plasmarifle
Damage 3d8fire (energy)
Ammo: 30
Size: Large

Rangeincrement: 50ft
Weight: 15lbs
Note: On a roll of 1 or 2 the weapon overheats and will not firefor 1d4 rounds as it safely dissipates heat and plasma in a far saferway, which also won't give away the user's position in the dark like theCovenant version. Can be recharged using a Spartan Laser rechargerack.

This was created for a Halo campaign, but with a fluff change can work with any campaign setting.

Hi-Star LaserRifle

A military laser that is quite reliable even under harsh battlefieldconditions. For the most part it is a normal military laser rifle, but has oneunique feature, a continuous fire mode which allows it to burn through armour.

Hi-Star Laser Rifle(PL6 Personal Firearms Proficiency)
Damage: 3d8 or 3d6 beam ignores * points DR/hardness
Critical: x2
Damage Type: fire
Range Increment: 75 ft or 50 ft beam
Rate of Fire: S,A or single beam mode
Size: Large
Weight: 10 lb
Ammo: 50 box
Purchase DC: 20 Mil (+3)
Notes: Has a beam mode. When in beam mode, a continuous beam is emitted.Considered a full attack, user can not move while in beam mode. Each time thetarget moves, a new attack roll is required to keep the beam on target. *Ignores 1 point of DR/hardness and 1 point of Defense for each consecutiveround the beam is held on target, up to a maximum of 10 points of hardness/DRand Defense. So first round doesn't ignore DR/Hardness or Defense. Second roundthe beam is held on target, gains ignore 1 point of DR/hardness and Defensefrom the armour. If the user moves while holding the beam on target, a newattack roll at -5 for every 10 feet moved to keep the beam on target. If the usermisses on any of the attack rolls, the ignore DR/hardness and Defense bonusesreset to 0. Beam mode also only has 5 range increments. A critical hit with thebeam mode is only for the round it was made in.
