Do the pack carry their weight in gear or provide a % reduction in weight up to a set amount or what ?

I think one of the intentions of the 2013 equipment listings was to introduce a certain amount of "generic-ness" (I know that's probably not a word) into the rules, which may be why the write ups aren't specific. A very quick Google search brings up a variety of different packs with a variety of different carrying capacities, e.g.,
http://militarybackpackguide.com/
So I'd suggest two options
1. Let your players choose for themselves what specific size of pack they want their characters to have
or
2. You as the ref make a call on it by (for example) ruling that each character starts the game with a pack that holds a specific amount (in my experience, 40 litre / kilos is common).
Either way, packs then carry up to their maximum capacity, so if you go for the second option each player can fit 40 kilos of gear into his / her character's pack, in the first option whatever you've agreed to (in both instances provided they can carry it - I've seen 2013 PC's whose Emergency Load has been only a little over 40 kilos total).

I'm looking at the character sheet at the back of the book and I can't see anything that says Attack. Are you looking at an official 93GS sheet or a home brew one that someone has maybe added that to?
