Bearbeiten von „VJ Ausrüstung“

Legality Class spielt in diesem Spiel eine grosse Rolle, lest am besten schnell den Kasten auf B267 durch. Erlaubt sind Items mit TL8 und LC2,3 oder 4. Items mit Supersciene (^) sind verboten. LC1 Waffen sind schwere Maschinengewehre, Panzerfäuste, Granatenwerfer... Diese eignen sich nicht als Standartbewaffnung für dieses Spiel und können nur mit expliziter GM Erlaubnis gekauft oder als Belohnung von diesem vergeben werden.

Am einfachsten orientiert man sich im Buch High Tech.

==Waffen==
Anschliessend sucht man sich eine Longarm (SMG, Shotgun, Rifle) aus und nimmt die Pistole dazu. Wem diese Waffen nicht passen, der darf sich mit den Punkten aus den Quirks Signature Gear kaufen.

*Die Schrotflinte, die Maschinenpistole und das Gewehr haben bei Bulk ein * können ihren Schaft einklappen oder einfahren (Ready Maneuver). Wenn eingeklappt hat die Waffe einmal -1 Bulk weniger, aber auch -1 auf Acc und +1 auf Rcl (Es sei denn, Rcl ist 1). Ausserdem muss in diesem Falle der ST Wert mit 1.2 (aufrunden) multipliziert werden.


===Pistole===
[[File:VJ Pistole.jpg|thumb|H&K USP SD, .40 S&W]]
Die USP wurde speziell für militärische- und behördenspezifische Aufgaben konzipiert und entwickelt. Das Resultat spricht für sich: Die USP ist universell einsetzbar, äußerst funktionssicher in der Anwendung und Garant für eine hohe Zuverlässigkeit und Präzision im Schuss.

Aber die USP bietet noch mehr: Als modulares System ermöglicht sie einen in- dividuellen Zuschnitt von Sicherungs- und Abzugseinrichtungen für jeden Anspruch. Die modifizierte Browningverriegelung mit patentiertem Puffersytem führt zusätzlich zu einer Minimierung der Rückstoßkräfte im Schuss. Die Hand des Schützen wird dadurch besonders geschont.

===Schrotflinte===
[[File:VJ Schrotflinte.jpg|thumb|Benelli M3T Super 90, 12-gauge 2.75”]]
All parts of the M3T Folding Stock are subjected to special treatments to ensure extended life and enhanced efficiency. The receiver is made from Ergal aluminium alloy, and is anodised and finished in matt black. The steel barrels are internally chrome plated and externally blued. The magazine and bolt are in matt blued steel. The Folding Stock model features a stock that folds on to the back of the shotgun, and latches on to the rear sight, reducing overall length to only 78 cm. All models and configurations of the M3 ensure superb ballistic efficiency and are extremely easy to maintain. Their great versatility makes them ideal for all hunters.

===Maschinenpistole===
[[File:VJ Maschinenpistole.jpg|thumb|H&K MP7A1, 4.6x30mm]]
Die MP7 repräsentiert eine neue Generation von leistungsgesteigerten Maschinenpistolen und schließt die Lücke zwischen Sturmgewehr und konventioneller Maschinenpistole. Als echte persönliche Verteidigungswaffe entwickelt, übertrifft sie das von der NATO aufgestellte Anforderungsprofil bei weitem.

Die MP7 ist äußerst kompakt gebaut, gering im Gewicht, auf engstem Raum einsetzbar und nahezu rückstoßfrei im Schuss. Sie kann permanent am Mann getragen werden und ist daher die ideale Begleitwaffe für den modernen Soldaten. Mit ihr im Gepäck gehört eine Über- oder Unterbewaffnung der Vergangenheit an.

Im Kalibervergleich übertrifft die 4,6 mm x 30 Patrone die standardisierte 9 mm x 19 Patrone in Durchschlags- und Zielwirkung um ein Vielfaches. Zur Verdeutlichung: Das neue Hochleistungskaliber durchschlägt den NATO CRISAT AUFBAU (1,6 mm Titan und 20 Lagen Kevlar) noch auf 200 m. Das Elementare: Eine Hintergrundgefährdung wird dabei weitestgehend ausgeschlossen.

===Gewehr===
[[File:VJ Gewehr.jpg|thumb|FN MK 16 MOD 0, 5.56x45mm]]
Early 2004, United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) issued a solicitation for a family of Special Forces Combat Assault Rifles, the so-called SCAR, designed around two different calibers but featuring high commonality of parts and identical ergonomics.

FN Herstal took part in the full and open competition and released prototypes of a brand new family of weapons within timeframe taking advantage of our long-standing firearms know-how.

From the first pre-selection tests, the FN SCAR® system developed by FN Herstal has remained the first and only choice of USSOCOM.

=TOOLS AND GADGETS=

Heroes can obtain most reusable equipment (not single-use items like explosives!) with several modifiers – all “stackable” except as noted, but not all available for every gadget. Each modifier notes a “cost factor” (CF). To find final cost, multiply list cost by (1 + total CF); e.g., a cutting-edge (+1 CF), rugged (+1 CF) camera is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 times cost. Weight effects multiply together; e.g., that camera has 0.8 times weight.
 
* Cutting-Edge: Made of the latest materials. Multiply weight by 2/3. Any item: +1 CF.
* Disguised: The item resembles something else of similar shape; e.g., handcuffs that look like a chunky bracelet. Discovering the hidden function requires a Search roll. Any item: +4 CF.
* Fine-Quality*: Gives +2 to operation skill, or adds +2 to existing modifier. If quality affects weight, x20 weight. Good- and fine-quality are mutually exclusive. Any item but labs or tool kits (their bonus depends on size): +19 CF.
* Good-Quality*: Gives +1 to operation skill, or adds +1 to existing modifier. If quality affects weight, x5 weight. Good- and fine-quality are mutually exclusive. Any item but labs or tool kits: +4 CF.
* Rugged: Shockproof and waterproof, giving +2 to rolls to avoid breakage, water damage, etc. Multiply weight by 1.2. Any item: +1 CF.
* Styled: Hand-tooled, gold-plated, etc. Gives a reaction or Influence roll bonus if the item is the focus of the action. Any item: +1 bonus for +1 CF, +2 for +4 CF, and +3 for +9 CF.

==ARSON AND DEMOLITION==

Explosives gear requires Explosives (Demolition). To multiply explosives damage by N, use (N x N) times as much; e.g., to quadruple the damage for dynamite, use 16 sticks. 

Anybody can commit arson, but roll vs. Explosives to avoid unintended disasters.

Toolskits and Portable Labs

Mini-Tool Kit (TL5-8)
This is a belt-sized tool kit. At TL8, it may contain a few small batteries. It gives a -2 (quality) modifier for the specific skill and specialty for which it’s designed. A kit for Electrician, Machinist, or any Armoury or Mechanic specialty is $200, 4 lbs. Kits for Electronics Repair specialties are $400, 2 lbs. LC4.

Portable Tool Kit (TL5-8)
This is the standard tool kit – the type found in a toolbox behind a truck seat or under the kitchen sink. It counts as basic equipment for the specific skill and specialty for which it’s designed, and gives a -2 (quality) modifier for other specialties of the same skill. At the GM’s option, such kits may have a handful of small batteries at TL7-8. A kit for Electrician, Machinist, or any Armoury or Mechanic specialty is $600, 20 lbs. Kits for Electronics Repair specialties are $1,200, 10 lbs. LC4.

Multi-Tool (TL5)
The modern Pocket Survival Tool was invented by Tim Leatherman in 1983, but similar “multiplex” tools have been around since the 1850s. Their versatility and compactness make them popular among soldiers and emergency personnel. Many variations exist, featuring such tools as blasting cap crimpers (p. 187), needle-nose pliers, locking pliers, digital tire-pressure gauges, saw blades, and different types of screw- and hex- drivers. Finishes range from stainless steel to stealthy matte black.
Like the multi-function knife (above), the utility of a multi-tool depends on the skill being used and the job at hand. It’s probably at least improvised equipment (-5 quality) for most technological tasks. For routine tasks, the GM might allow it to stand-in for a mini-tool kit (p. 24). $50, 0.5 lb. LC4.

Suitcase Lab (TL8)
A “mail-order chemistry lab” or equivalent. Takes at least 10 seconds to set up or pack. Counts as basic equipment for the skill. $3,000, 20 lbs. LC4.

Duct Tape (TL6)
This WWII-era tape consists of three layers: a plastic covering, a cloth mesh, and a thick rubber adhesive. Silvery tape is most familiar (a testament to its use in air-conditioning vent work), but it comes in every color and even in camouflage patterns. Clever characters may use duct tape as improvised equipment (p. B345) for many tasks – repairs, bandaging, splint wrapping, etc. An entire roll can be braided into a 20-yard rope capable of holding 200 lbs. Duct tape is also a handy makeshift restraint; a prisoner must make a ST-3 or Escape roll to break free. A 60-yard roll is $1, 2 lbs. LC4.

Forced Entry Tools

Glass Cutter (TL6)
In a cinematic campaign, the “circle cutter” is the definitive cat burglar’s tool. The user attaches its suction cup to a window or a glass case, pivots the blade 360° to score a circle in the glass, and then uses the suction cup to lift out a perfect glass disk – allowing him to reach through and open locks, steal secret plans, etc. This procedure requires a DX or Forced Entry roll. Failure means a noisy break; critical failure also means 1d-2 cutting damage to the hand.
Real cutters don’t work this way unless you’re very lucky. For one thing, scored glass must be tapped on the far side to break it out! Rolls for this stunt are at -6 in a realistic game. $140, 1 lb. LC4.

Circular Saw (TL6)
Does sw+3(2) cut per second. At TL8, halve weight and cost; cordless versions use a battery (M/30 minutes). $150, 20 lbs., external power. LC4.

Cutting Torch (TL6)
Does 1d+3(2) burn per second, with 30 seconds of cutting time per bottle (extra bottles are $50, 5 lbs.). $75, 7 lbs. LC4.

Hand Ram (TL6)
This is a one-man battering ram, used by SWAT teams to knock down doors. Against a braced, unmoving object such as a door, roll against Forced Entry to hit. A successful attack does sw+3d+1 cr. The ram has Reach 1 and ST 20†, requiring either a strong wielder or at least two Ready maneuvers between strikes. Used as a weapon, it functions as a clumsy maul (p. B274): -3 to Two-Handed Axe/Mace.
In practice, SWAT team “breachers” take an Evaluate maneuver and aim for the area just above or below the door handle. A miss generally means hitting another part of the door, possibly punching a hole in it without knocking it down. A critical miss may jam the door in the frame, which necessitates wasting valuable seconds to get it open. Either means a very loud knock that may alert hostile inhabitants to the arrival of “guests”!
A non-sparking, nonmagnetic model costs double but comes in handy if the door being busted down leads to a volatile drug lab. $150, 35 lbs. LC4.

Go-Bar (TL7)
This heavy-duty, non-sparking, and nonmagnetic “gorilla bar” is typically used with the Forced Entry skill to bust locks, hinges, and other door hardware. Treat it as a maul (p. B274) in combat, at -2 to skill. $175, 17 lbs. LC4.

Crowbar, Titanium (TL8)
Non-sparking, nonmagnetic tool for Forced Entry. Treat as a small mace (p. B271) in combat, at -1 to skill. $50, 2 lbs. LC4.

Doorbuster (TL8)
The so-called “knock-knock gun” resembles a pistol with chisel replacing the barrel. The user holds the head against a lock, hinge, bolt, etc., and pulls the trigger, which causes the chisel to slam forward with great force: 4d(2) pi++. It uses 10-shot strips, as described for the nail gun (p. 28). $1,500, 6 lbs. LC3.

Folding Ladder (TL8)
This goes from a briefcase-sized package to a 16’ ladder in two seconds; capacity is 300 lbs. $300, 20 lbs. LC4.

Rescue Spreader/Cutter (TL8)
The handheld unit does 6dx5(2) cr per activation, has Reach 1 and ST 14†, and weighs 23 lbs. It has Arm ST 45, BL 405 as a spreader. The power pack weighs 30 lbs. and uses 0.5 gallon of gasoline per hour. $15,000, 55 lbs. LC4.

Communications

Wireless Earphone (TL8)
A tiny earpiece picks up audio signals from a short-range transmitter box connected to the radio. The voice-activated microphone is worn like a necklace, and is concealable under normal clothing. $300, 0.5 lb., T/72 hrs. LC3.

Small Radio (TL8)
A standard handheld radio. Military versions often have encryption and GPS capability. 5-mile range. $250, 0.5 lb., 3xXS/10 hrs. LC4.

Secure Encryption (TL8)

Media Tools

Digital Camera (TL8)
A digital camera stores color images on a removable digital storage device (p. 22) instead of on film, the exact number depending on image quality and the size of the storage device. It can transfer images directly to computer without any quality loss from scanning. Cheap digital cameras are often quite small (Holdout 0). $75, 0.5 lb., 2xXS/10 hrs. LC4.

Mini-DV Camera (TL8)
A compact digital movie camera with built-in features that give Night Vision 3 and Telescopic Vision 2. It has a small LCD screen and can take digital stills. The rechargeable battery lasts for 1 hour. $500, 1 lb. LC4.

Sensors and Sense Enhancing

Thru-Wall Radar (TL8)
Like ground-penetrating radar, this specially tuned radar can see through solid objects and into the space beyond. An example is the law-enforcement and security tool marketed as Soldier Vision. It can see through a wall a foot thick (wood, brick, gypsum, etc.) and detect a person 20 yards beyond that. Its range is less than 1’ through

Military-Grade Binoculars (TL8)
The lenses of modern military binoculars are often coated to protect the eyes from laser light (giving Protected Vision, p. B78) and fitted with anti-reflective screens to reduce lens shine. 10x magnification. $800, 3.5 lbs. LC3.

Stabilized Binoculars (TL8)
Some advanced civilian binoculars incorporate mechanical stabilization. This eliminates up to -3 in movement penalties – handy when observing from a vehicle. 10x magnification. $5,000, 4 lbs. LC4.

Night-Vision Binoculars (TL8)
Handheld, long-range night-vision binoculars. Gives Night Vision 9. 16x magnification. $6,000, 3 lbs., 2xXS/20 hrs. LC4.

Thermal-Imaging Binoculars (TL8)

In all cases, the user has Colorblindness (p. B127), No Depth Perception (p. B145), and No Peripheral Vision (p. B151) while using the optics.

Night Vision Goggles (TL8). Head-mounted goggles – known as “NVGs” or “NODs” – such as the U.S. Army’s AN/PVS-7 series, often worn on a flip-up helmet mount. Early versions were issued to helicopter pilots. Gives Night Vision 7-9. $3,500, 1.5 lbs., 2xXS/20 hrs. LC4.

Thermal-Imaging Goggles (TL8). A thermal-imaging camera mounted on a helmet or a head-strap. 4x magnification. $13,000, 1.5 lbs., XS/2 hrs. LC4.

Chemical Test Kit (TL6)
The first detectors are strips of paper treated to react to specific chemicals. They’re worn on the sleeve by hazardous-materials workers and soldiers, dipped in suspicious liquids, etc. At TL6, a positive test means the paper changes color in a minute or two; at TL8, reaction time is instant. A test kit of 50 strips, covering a wide array of chemicals: $25, 0.5 lb. LC4.

Handheld Detector (TL8). 
This state-of-the-art handheld unit can sense an entire range of dangerous or illicit substances – typically chemical weapons, drugs, or explosives. Detection range is about 1’. $60,000, 6 lbs., 4xS/12 hrs. LC4.

Geiger Counter (TL8)
Has a digital display. $400, 0.5 lb., XS/10 hrs. LC4.

Surveilance

Directional Microphone (TL8)
A mike that picks up sound in a narrow cone similar in shape to a shotgun blast. Headphones included. Amplifies a particular sound by 8x. $800, 3 lbs., 4xS/10 hrs. LC4.



Metal Detector (TL8)
This is a handheld detector about a yard long. The user wears the attached headphones and sweeps the ground in front of him as he walks. If he finds something metallic, the device will beep. A basic model – often used as a mine detector – can detect metal up to 6 meter underground, although 2 meter is more typical for small objects like coins and rings. Higher-quality equipment can detect large objects much deeper, and at TL8 has a screen that displays the general shape and composition of the find. $100, 6 lbs., 6xS/8 hrs. LC4.

Electric Lantern, Large (TL8)
5-yard radius. Double cost for dive-certified models that can operate to a depth of 600’. $30, 3 lbs., 4xS/20 hrs. LC4.

Large Tactical Light (TL8)
100-yard beam. Those who look directly into the light must make a HT-4 roll or be temporarily blinded. Blindness lasts for 10 seconds times the margin of failure. To be used on Longarms or as a Baton (Shortsword, DX-4; thr cr, sw cr) $200, 0.5 lb., 4xXS/2 hrs. LC4.

Small Tactical Light (TL8)
25-yard beam. Those who look directly into the light must make a HT-4 roll or be temporarily blinded. Blindness lasts for 10 seconds times the margin of failure. To be used on Pistols or as Brass Knuckles (thr cr) $100, 0.25 lb., 2xXS/2 hrs. LC4.

5-Gallon Can (TL7)
A common fuel or water container. DR 3. $15, 10 lbs. LC4.

Load-Bearing Vest (TL8)
The modern assault vest dates to the Vietnam War, and becomes popular in the late 1980s among SWAT teams and the like. An LBV is easier to take on and off – and the gear is carried up on the torso, which protects the contents when wading in water. It’s also less cumbersome in tight spots, which is important to tankers and aircrew. It’s designed to hold 30 lbs. of gear. Modern body armor often features integral pouches and attachment points, making it equivalent to a LBV. Takes two seconds to don or remove. $30, 2 lbs. LC4.

Backpack, Small (TL8)
A small backpack with a quick-release mechanism which allows it to be dropped as a free action. Holds 50 lbs. $120, 1.5 lbs. LC4.

Backpack, Large (TL8)
A heavy pack with frame. Dubbed a “mountaineering pack” by some, it’s typical of most modern military expedition packs. Holds 100 lbs. $200, 5 lbs. LC4.

Suitcase, Hard (TL8)
Holds 100 lbs. DR 4, with key lock. $500, 4 lbs.

Climbing Kit (TL8)
Harness, ascender, descender, an assortment of fasteners, and 100 yards of 3/8” rope which supports 650 lbs. A highquality kit provides a bonus to Climbing skill. $400, 26 lbs. LC4.

Mini-Rappel Kit (TL8)
A complete rappelling system: harness, carabiner, descender, and 33 yards of 1/4” rope which supports 500 lbs. The whole kit fits in a small belt pouch. $150, 3 lbs. LC4.

Grappling Hook (TL8)
Getting a grapnel to the target requires a DX-3 or Throwing roll. Maximum throwing distance is STx2 yards. Load limit is 600 lbs. When a grapnel lands on stone, concrete, or similar materials, it can ring loudly – make an unmodified Hearing roll at 1 yard. A padded grapnel (+1 lb.) gives -2 to Hearing. At TL8, this is a non-sparking, nonmagnetic version. $40, 2 lbs. LC4.

Personal Lifting Device (TL8)
This is a portable, one-man climbing hoist. It clips onto a climber’s harness. At the touch of a button, it can ascend or descend a rope at 3 yards per second. A fuel cartridge ($100, 2 lbs.) powers an ascent of 200 yards. Lifting capacity is 300 lbs. $8,000, 7 lbs. LC3.

Cigarette Lighter (TL6)
The famous Zippo was invented in 1932, but it was based on earlier designs, including WWI trench lighters. A lighter is good for several hundred lights and has a continuous burn time of about 20-30 minutes. At TL8, triple cost buys a windproof, waterproof model. $10, neg. LC4.

Fire-Starter Paste (TL6)
A highly flammable substance used for lighting wet kindling in arctic conditions. A tube is enough for 20 fires. $5, 0.25 lb. LC4.

Infiltration Tools

Mini-Parachute (TL8)
A parachute in a slim backpack that can be concealed under a jacket (x5 cost) with ripaway back panels. One model is marketed as a high-rise building escape device. It opens in half the distance of a normal chute. $1,000, 8 lbs. LC4.

Ram-Air Parachute (TL8)
At TL8, sport jumpers and high-altitude military parachutists favor airfoil-style parachutes. Such a chute is highly maneuverable. It can glide at Move 15 relative to the ground – and with a good tailwind at 20,000’, jumpers routinely cruise as fast as Move 35, flying dozens of miles under canopy in the right conditions. This allows black-ops teams to exit an aircraft at great altitude and fly in formation to a distant drop zone. Jumpers attempting such stunts require an air mask (HT72-73) and air tanks (HT74) to avoid passing out due to lack of oxygen; see Atmospheric Pressure (p. B429). Maximum suspended weight is 400 lbs. For performance data as vehicle, see the Air Conveyances Table (HT232). With reserve: $3,500, 25 lbs. LC4.
