The M16A2 is both MORE COMMON, AND in real world 1990's dollars, would go for about $500 just like in the game (if I'm recalling it right, I don't have my rules handy). The (I'm guessing GEN II) Night Vision Goggles list for either $250 or $300 (once again, I don't have my rulebook in the cab), ONE TENTH the real world value of those goggles. There are issues like this all through the equipment guide, especially with the unit costs of certain Heavy Weapons, and Commo Equipment.

As you all know well by now, I will ditch anything "Canon" that doesn't follow real world logic (or economics).
But I am real and Canon and Irish so the logic thing is right out
er I think.
