Helmet, Combat Vehicle Crewman Weight: 1.5kg
A padded helmet issued to vehicle crews. The CVC is fitted with a boom microphone and headphones for intra-vehicle and radio communication (the helmet plugs into the vehicle’s intercom system). A Kevlar shell is fitted that provides some head protection.

Helmet, PASGT Weight: 1.35kg
The helmet, better known as a “Fritz” or “K-Pot” is made with Dupont Kevlar, a synthetic fiber that is lighter and stronger than steel. It greatly resembles the helmets used by German forces throughout this century and provides the best level of cranial protection available. There is an elaborate internal suspension system of straps and padding, and a replaceable fabric camouflage cover.

Vest, Interceptor Body Armor Weight: 7.5kg
A replacement for the PASGT vest, the Interceptor is a marked advance over the earlier system. It consists of a flexible Kevlar vest with sufficient ballistic performance to stop fragments and projectiles up to 9mm, and front and back trauma plates capable of stopping repeated hits from 7.62mm rounds.

Vest, PASGT Weight: 9.1kg
This vest is made with Kevlar and is designed to protect the neck, shoulders and front and back. It is secured with Velcro closures. The vest is built up with dozens of layers of Kevlar running in different directions, and reinforced with ceramic plates at key points. This spreads out the impacting energy of a bullet or fragment over a wider area, thus preventing a potentially lethal penetration. It is designed to stop a 7.62mm round at short range. The bullet may knock you down, or even crack a rib (and it will definitely leave you severely bruised), but you will be alive. The greatest complaint about the vest is that it is torture in hot weather, since it does not “breathe”. It is normally worn only when close combat is expected.

The lightweight shirt and pants are 100 percent cotton, with the heavier weights being 50 percent cotton/50 percent synthetic. BDUs are cut large for easy movement, so that they always look baggy. The pants have reinforced knees and bottom and two roomy side pickets, along with the usual front and back pockets. Adjustable tabs at the waist and drawstring ties at the ankles help ensure a tight fit. The shirt has reinforced elbows and two upper and two lower bellows pockets as well as a pen pocket on each sleeve. A velcro patch for a name plate is placed above the upper left pocket. The Morrow Project patch is on the left shoulder and the Branch patch is on the right shoulder. The BDU is reinforced with resistweave fibers to provide limited protection from shrapnel and small arms fire (up to 9mm in caliber) as well as limited protection against fire.

Breaching Charge
A configured charge of plastic explosive designed to blow man-sized holes in walls. The charge is the size of a thick notebook, with a self-adhesive panel on one side and an adjustable chemical time fuse on the other. To operate the charge, the user peels the sheet of protective plastic film from the adhesive panel, places the charge at waist height, breaks the prescored fuse strip at the desired time delay (five to 60 seconds in five-second increments), pulls the primer and dives for cover.
Weight: 2kg Burst Radius: 20m
Packaging: 4 per case Package Weight: 12kg

Composition Four
Known as C-4, plastique or plastic explosive, this is the most commonly used demolitions material in the military today. Plastique has the consistency of clay and can be molded into any shape. A pancake of plastic explosives can be wrapped around a turbine shaft to sabotage it or flattened against armor plate to punch a hole through it. A long strip of C-4 can be used to outline a man-sized area on the hull of an aircraft, or around a doorknob to blast an entry or open the lock. Plastic explosives are absolutely stable. They will not explode when dropped, jarred, struck or exposed to flame.

Dynamite
Used mostly as an industrial explosive, and may be found at quarries or other blasting sites. It is relatively stable but may explode when exposed to fire or struck with a metal implement. A single stick may cut into as many as seven pieces. One-seventh of a stick has a relative strength of 0.1 unit of C-4.

M-112 C-4 Demolition Block
The M-112 demolition block consists of 0.563kg of Composition-4 packed in a Mylar-film container with pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on one surface. The tape is protected by a peelable paper cover. The M-112 block is used primarily for cutting and breaching in all types of demolition work. Because of its moldability and high brisance, the charge is ideally suited for cutting irregularly shaped targets such as steel. The adhesive backing allows the charge to be attached to any relatively flat, clean, dry surface that is above freezing point. One block will blast a hole 30cm square through 10mm armor plate or a 0.6m diameter hole through a 10cm thick rock or concrete wall.
Weight: 0.563kg Burst Radius: 6.75m
Packaging: 30 per case Package Weight: 21.6kg

M-118 C-4 Demolition Block
The M-118 demolition block, or sheet explosive, is a block of four 0.227kg sheets of Composition-4 packed in a plastic envelope.

The sheets of explosive can be quickly attached to irregular and curved surfaces and is easily cut to any desired dimensions.
Weight: 0.90kg Burst Radius: 10.79kg
Packaging: 20 per case Package Weight: 25.8kg

M-150 Penetration Augmented Munition
This is a lightweight, man-portable demolition device. It is only 0.838m in length and can be emplaced by one person. The primary use of this munition is against reinforced concrete bridge supports, piers, walls, and abutments. The device is designed to be easily carried in a rucksack or attached to the soldier’s LBE without restricting his ability to walk, climb, rappel, or fast rope. Any standard detonation device can ignite it. The PAM is hung against the target. The warhead consists of a forward charge, which cuts any rebar; a hole-drilling charge, which forms a hole in the target; and a follow-through charge, which is propelled to the bottom of the hole it detonates. The explosion fractures the structure and results in the loss of at least 75 percent of the load-bearing capability. Two operators with two PAM units (32kg) can set the devices on a bridge and be ready to exfil within two minutes. Normally, this type of operation would require twelve men, using 200kg of M-112 demolition blocks and a time of fifteen minutes per man.

Always glad to be of assistance!

If you want to get very up to date on demolitions, the military has been jettisoning the time fuse/det cord systems in recent years, in favor of shock tubes.

Of course, there are many jolly uses for det cord that shock tubes can't perform (tree cutting for example).

That is a lot of great info, Dragoon500.

Something I would like to add to the mix. Something I have seen in games I have played or ran.

The shoebox.

In a lot of games, the GM allowed each player to bring something from "the past" into the game. It MUST fit into a shoebox.

I have seen all KINDS of strange memorabilia, odd knick-knacks, or thought out survival items. Some examples I have seen.

One guy's family actual owned a World Series championship ring from the 1969 Mets. It was in his shoebox.

Small fishing gear. Line, hooks, weights, bobbers, etc.
.22 revolver with 150 rounds of .22LR
Pipe, tobacco, lighter, pipe cleaners, etc. (one of my characters)
1 Pint of single malt scotch (now 150 years older)
OLD Family Bible (Names back to 1620's)
String of pearls from Great Grand Mother
St. Jude Medals
High School Class Ring
Football
Frisbee
Boy Scout compass
Car keys from first car

one guy went so far as to have some strands of hair from different family members.

It does pose an interesting question. What would YOU bring if you were part of TMP?

My $0.02

I've actualy used something like this in many of my games. The Personal Effects Satchel is a small gym bag capable of holding roughly 4kg of "stuff", although I tend to restrict what can go in (sorry that Thompson SMG and twelve 100 round drums that your great-grandfather left you, just won't fit), and I'm amused at what some people will try to bring along, like the family's uncut gem collection, or the gold coins that have hidden in the ole flour bin for "genertions".

I tend to place things like photos, favorite books on cd-rom.

Both my original campaign (run in the mid-Eighties) and my current campaign have a "personal effects box". In both cases we use a .50 cal can as the container:

1. it's sturdy and watertight
2. the dimensions are known, and can't be fudged
3. they're easy to get if you want a prop

Our current campaign has a page on these:

EDIT: note that the current campaign is "classic setting", so nothing from after the Eighties is present.
