Armor
Custom-Fitted Body Armor : Ares Arms upgrade on their classic Form-Fitting Body Armor, CFBA is lightweight, concealable, and more effective. This is brought about by breakthrough in material technology and new computer designed armor distribution patterns. The new materials are a bit more expensive, so Ares Arms continues to produce the less expensive line of FFBA at this time. The armor is not usable with any other form of body armor. Like its
predecessor CFBA cannot be dikoted and is destroyed by that treatment due
to chemical incompatibility factors.
Level 1 CFBA is a vest only; CFBA-2 covers 60% of the body; CFBA-3 covers 90% of the body. Kilvan Bodysuit : This bodysuit, composed of specialized and classified materials, comes in a a stretch fabric that allows one size to literally fit all, from child to full grown troll. Manufactured by the Kilvan Corporation, a group unknown to virtually all governments, megacorps, and sold only in the shadows. The Kilvan Body suit has the following marvelous properties: It absorbs sound,
making it invisible to sonar (but not radar) and provides the wearer with
a -2 target modifier on Stealth Rolls.
>>>>>[Comes in
basic black, natch, and will cover the entire body, including everything
except the area around the eyes. Gives the wearer one of those comic book
ninja looks when worn.]<<<<<
Sinskin : This fabric molds itself precisely to the contours of the skin it covers. Impossibly thin, yet opaque, translucent or transparent according to it's manufacturer, it reveals every bump, pimple, scar, and so on it is worn over. Sinskin, a product
of Sindyc, can be worn under armor and the like, and acts by kinetic
energy dispersal against blunt force trauma, providing the wearer with a
plus 1 (+1) to ballistic and impact protection. It is cumulative with
other armors, but cannot be layered on
>>>>>[This stuff is
tighter than skintight, but absolutely comfortable. The Item above is a
complete body stocking complete with a few strategic holes. A completely
sealed suit prevents the body from properly absorbing oxygen and the like
which can cause death by >>>>>[It's also
becoming popular in some fashion lines. Take a peek in the latest Silky
Dolls Catalogue or Victoria Secrets. Look what it does to a Thong Bikini
or a Teddy!!!]<<<<< Vambraces and Greaves : This is a modified
version of Ares Arms old Forearm Guards by Karitikeya Arms of Bangkok,
land of kickboxers. The forearm guards (vambraces) are articulated and
wrap completely around the forearm, including a blunt elbow spike and
guard for the back of the hand. The
An exotic option on
the Vambraces and Greaves is the installation (at a cost of 500 nuyen per
vambrace or greave modified) of a stun generator (including insulation) so
that contacts with the surface of the vambrace or greave generates a
secondary shock in addition to the >>>>>[Met one
kickboxer who had his greaves rebuilt to incorporate a complete armored
shoe, fully articulated and padded on the bottom to make it quieter.
Regularly took down trolls with a single
kick.]<<<<< >>>>>[Friend got
kicked by a guy wearing these in the nads a while back. Went down like a
ton of bricks, fighting a major Serious wound from the kick (a STR 6
Kickboxer has a damage code of 10S in this situation) and the effects of
the stunner (a second resistance test at 6M). Over three hundred kilos of
killer troll down in one shot. Of course the slot was a physad or some
kind of kung fu sammie and had lots of skill behind his
kick.]<<<<< >>>>>[What happened to
him?]<<<<< >>>>>[Mopped the floor
with all of us (except the decker; she hid in a booth) as a warning to be
polite to the barkeep and staff, and leave good tips. We do and
are.]<<<<< MonoCrys : MonoCrys or monomolecular crystalline glass, is the latest breakthrough in armored glass and is being fitted into secure structures from vehicular windows to French doors around the world and on Mars. It provides a barrier rating of three points per five millimeters thickness and can be flawlessly clear at any thickness. Cost : 200 Nuyen per five millimeters thickness per square meter. >>>>>[For the Mars
Cities, they use a double pain of MonoCrys in the ceilings. Each pane is
ten centimeters thick. With a two and one half meters of circulated water
in between them.]<<<<< MonoCrys Fiber : MonoCrys Fiber is a
filament technology based on the new monocrys material. The monocrys fiber
currently in use is found integrated into military grade rigid armor for
the most part, increasing the armor rating by +2 on both ballistic and
impact. E-Scanner : A compact hand-held
sensor that can be used to detect the presence of electrical fields,
measures those fields, and determine the probable nature of any device
generating the field. To accomplish more than a simple detection
feat requires Electronics or B/R Electronics Skill and a Skill (4)
Test. Commonly found in B/R kits.
Campkit : A standard camping
unit that contains all the tools needed for a camping trip, including a
small gas stove, mess kit, shovel, and fire-lighting equipment. All it
needs is a rope, tent and sleeping bag.
Cutting Torch : Small oxyacetylene
torch that can cut through 3 cm of metal at a rate of 1 meter every five
turns. Gas will last 100 turns. Refills cost ten nuyen
each Grapple Line : A Grapple Line is a small hand held device. It shoots a cord up to 90 meters (300 feet), through the use of a CO^2 cartridge. The rope is made of Duraflex(tm) and can support up to 800 kg (thinner rope). The Grapple line motor though can only lift 200 kg, or it will burn out. There are three attachments each of which have been Dikoted(tm) for durability of the equipment. 1. The Spike : This
is used to attach to non-gripable material, sheer walls and
cliffs (can cause 6M damage used as a
weapon) Diving Mask : The diving filter mask is based on air filtration technology and pulls oxygen out of the water like an artificial lung. The Mask is generally fitted with a full face mask that includes a radio with a very short range and filtration unit. Note : Twenty-first century gear for a dive or underwater swim has a minimum requirement of a diving mask, buoyancy belt, and fins. Diving Suit : For diving in cold
water of any kind, the insulated diving suit is a light neoplex garment
that bonds to the skin of the person wearing it when the suit is sealed
(seal points are ankles, wrist, and neck). The suit is skintight and
provides very thorough temperature regulation down to -20 degrees
Centigrade and up to 80 degrees Centigrade. It is also popular with skiing
enthusiasts. |
