Body Armor
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.

Demolitions Gear
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-1 Timer/Detonator An adjustable mechanical detonator. The time delay can be set from 10-60 seconds; from 1-10 minutes (in 1 minute intervals); and from 1-48 hours (in 10 minute intervals). Weight: 0.3kg Fuse Delay: 10 seconds to 48 hours Packaging: 150 per case Package Weight: 26kg M-2 Selectable Lightweight Attack Munition This is a self-contained, easy to emplace munition. It can be easily mixed with other munitions for anti-material, anti-vehicular and anti-personnel. It has four detonation modes: passive IR, magnetic influence, time delay (15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes) and command detonation. The explosively formed penetrator can penetrate up to 40mm of armor out to 8m. Weight: 1kg Burst Radius: 6m Packaging: 4 per case Package Weight: 6kg M-2A1 Detonator A combination igniter/fuse/detonator assembly. With the detonator imbedded in the explosive and the T-ring pulled, the fuse is ignited thus setting off the explosive. Weight: 0.050kg Fuse Delay: 8 seconds Packaging: 200 per case Package Weight: 27.9kg M-2A1 Timer/Detonator A digital timer which can be set for 30-seconds to 48-hours in 30-second intervals. It will fire up to ten electrical blasting caps. Weight: 0.25kg Fuse Delay: 30 seconds to 48 hours Packaging: 150 per case Package Weight: 45kg M-7 Blasting Cap, Nonelectric This cap will detonate explosives. It requires a fuse to be inserted into the cap for ignition. Weight: 0.004kg Burst Radius: 0.25m Packaging: 3,600 per case Package Weight: 51.5kg M-8 Blasting Cap, Electric This cap will detonate explosives. It requires an electrical wire to be inserted into the cap for ignition. Weight: 0.004kg Burst Radius: 0.25m Packaging: 3,600 per case Package Weight: 51.5kg M-60 Fuse Igniter With this igniter, a fuse may be lit underwater. To use, a fuse is placed in the base, the safety pin removed and the igniter ring pulled. Weight: 0.069kg Burst Radius: n/a Packaging: 300 per case Package Weight: 25.2kg 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. Each sheet of the plastic explosive has a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape attached to one surface. The M-118 block is designed as a cutting charge especially to be used against steel targets. 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. Weight: 15.876kg Burst Radius: 163m Packaging: 2 per case Package Weight: 40kg M-183 Demolition Charge A canvas satchel containing 16, M-112 C-4 blocks and 4 M-15 priming assemblies. The priming assemblies are 2 meters of primercord with a blasting cap at each end. The charge will blast a 2-meter diameter hole 1 meter of concrete. It will also blast a 0.6-meter hole through 76mm of steel.

Electronics
*original belongs to Paul's "Uber Gear List" THE site to review!!!
SIGHTS AN/GVS-5 Laser Rangefinder Weight: 2.3kg This device resembles a pair of binoculars. It is used to determine the range to a target, usually to verify the location of targets for artillery or air strikes. It is an x8 power, effective out to 9km. The operator must have a clear LOS to the target; smoke or dust can degrade the range. AN/PAQ-4C Infrared Aiming Light Weight: 0.3kg This device produces a target-marking beam similar to that of a standard laser sight---except that it is infrared and thus invisible to the naked eye. The targeting dot can only be seen through NVGs; as a result, it is effective only for night combat. AN/PAS-7 Thermal Viewer Weight: 5kg A viewer that “sees” heat, either the presence or lack of it. It can see a warm body hiding in a tree or a cold vehicle hidden under brush. It can spot a man at four hundred meters or a running vehicle at three kilometers. It is able to penetrate fog, rain or smoke. It has a magnification of x4.5 and a battery life of 48 hours. AN/PVS-4 Individual Weapon Night Sight Weight: 1.8kg This is a portable sight used for observation and aimed fire of weapons at night. It uses passive light amplification to provide the user with a clear view of the field of fire. It provides clear vision out to 365m. AN/PVS-7B Night Vision Goggles, NVGs Weight: 0.7kg This device has a single viewing tube instead of the standard inocular form of earlier versions. Prisms provide simulated binocular vision, but vision is limited to a 40° arc in front of the user. This model works on the principle of light amplification; it doesn’t emit infrared radiation that could reveal the wearer to other night-vision gear. It also incorporates photo-reactive light dampening to protect the wearer against the blinding effects of muzzle flashes. It will function continuously for 12 hours on its battery. AN/PAS-13(V)2 Weight: 2kg The US military AN/PAS-13(V)2 TWS. This sight can identify targets at a range of 690 meters (down to telling what type of uniform is worn, type of weapon carried, whether the target has a mustache, etc.) and larger objects such as vehicles and buildings at a range of 1,000 meters. This device has crosshairs to facilitate aiming. Glass and Plexiglas are opaque to the TWS, and appear black. RADIO AN/PRC-112A Secure Transponder Weight: 0.8kg This is more of a survival radio than anything else; it only operates on eight frequencies on the UHF/AM band, including the international emergency band. There is a newer version, the GPS-112, which adds a GPS receiver. Short range is 4km. Issued to Recon and MARS Teams. AN/PRC-119 SINGCARS Secure Manpack Radio Weight: 7.5kg This unit has a built-in frequency-hopping unit. Any radio can communicate with any other by means of a special frequency-hopping unit that changes frequencies (all 2,300 of them) at 30-second intervals so that it is almost impossible to listen in on a conversation for any length of time. However, both radios must be on the same link to be able to communicate with each other. The PRC-119 can also be used as a modem (transmitting at 16 kphs). This unit may also be combined with a Vinson voice scrambler for maximum security. The radio has a maximum range of about 8km as a manpack radio. Standard Issue Project radio. AN/PSC-5 Manpack/Vehicular SATCOM Terminal Weight: 7.5kg This device allows communications via satellites in orbit. Normal transmission mode is voice, but a keyboard may be attached for text, as can a fax machine or a computer. The device may be used as a regular radio, with a short range of 18km. It may also be used as a beacon for rescue or other homing operations. Issued to MARS, Recon, Science and Communications Teams. AN/VRC-87C SINGCARS Secure Vehicular Radio Weight: 12kg This radio has a short range of 50km from a vehicle mount only. The unit is otherwise similar in function to the AN/PRC-119 described above. Issued to MARS and Recon Teams. Caracal (PRM 4740A) Secure Hand Radio Weight: 1kg Used by special operations units, these are the smallest radios to incorporate frequency-hopping technology. Up to 10 channels may be reprogrammed for quick frequency changing. Also fitted with a remote ear receiver and a throat microphone. Designed to allow team members to communicate without having to remove the radio from its holster. Cellular Telephone Weight: 1kg A portable cellular phone allowing access to cellular communications networks. A special chip is inserted that allows Project cellular phones to access any existing cellular network. Communications-Electronics Operations Instructions Weight: Negligible The CEOI is a small paper book containing assigned radio frequencies, times for changing frequencies, alternate frequencies in case one is compromised, team callsigns, prearranged call times, passwords and countersigns, cipher sheets for encrypting and decrypting messages and visual signals for contacting aircraft if radio communications is out. CEOIs are vital to the mission; they are also classified material which must not be mislaid. CEOIs are printed on highly flammable paper so that they can be easily burned to prevent capture; they can also be chewed to illegibility in seconds. Portable Facsimile Machine Weight: 6kg Connected to a radio, this enables recon photos, situation maps and other reports to be sent and received by teams in the field. RC-292 Antenna System Weight: 10kg This is a 10-meter tall antenna. Any radio attached to this antenna has its broadcast range tripled in normal mode or multiplied by six in hi-power---and highly detectable---mode. The antenna is non-mobile and takes one man-hour to assemble (i.e., one man takes one hour, two men take one-half hour, four men take one-quarter hour, etc.). In addition, it takes one-man half-hour to disassemble. The antenna broadcasts in 360° for purposes of reception and detection. RADARS AN/GRR-17-2 Ground Surveillance Radar Weight: 32kg This is a very advanced, ground-based surveillance radar system. The unit consists of three pieces; the antenna, the power unit and the radar receiver-transmitter. The unit is capable of picking up the motion of a ground vehicle at 10 kilometers, an aircraft at 25 kilometers, or a man at four kilometers. The weight of the antenna is 10kg, the power unit is 12kg and the radar receiver-transmitter is 10kg. Normally issued to MARS and Recon Teams. SURVEILLANCE AN/PRD-303/SV Surveillance System Weight: 10.8kg A small motion sensor that covers a 120° covered arc. It detects the motion of solid objects between one and two meters off the ground. Up to ten PRD-303/Ss can be hooked into a PRD-303/V. Effective range of the sensor is about 250 meters in open terrain. Internal batteries provide up to twelve hours of operation. Bullhorn Weight: 3kg Makes voices distinctly audible at 300 meters and indistinctly audible at 600 meters. Powered from internalbatteries (rechargeable). Camcorder (SONY PC5) Weight: 0.4kg An electronic recorder of audio and visual images, either as single frames or sequential motion pictures, stored on digital mini-cassettes or flash memory sticks. Each flash card can hold 1650 images or 7 minutes of video. Each tape can record for 80 minutes at SP quality. Comes with active IR emitter for low-light use up to 3m range, internal and external microphone (internal microphone is less sensitive), extensive onboard editing software. Digital Camera Weight: 0.5kg An electronic recorder of visual images, either as single frames or sequential motion pictures, stored on standard computer 5.25-in disks. Each disk can hold about 300 images. Features a x100 zoom lens, low-light capability and remote control. NAVIGATION AN/PSN-11 Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR) Weight: 1.4kg This is a small handheld GPS receiver that features selective availability/antispoofing and antijam capability. It provides precise positioning and timing solutions based upon signals received from the GPS satellite constellation. It is a five-channel receiver, capable of Precision Code (P-Code) and Y-Code (encrypted P-Code) reception. Positioning solutions can be displayed in latitude/longitude, military grid reference system, Universal Transverse Mercator, British National Grid or Irish Transverse Mercator Grid coordinates. It contains 49 map datums, and can be programmed to support navigation. The receiver has a built-in test feature, and is night-vision goggle compatible. The “Plugger” is accurate to within 10 meters.

Medical Kits and Supplies
Advanced MedKit Weight: 0.1kg
This kit consists of a single drug injector that is preloaded with Nanobots. These nanobots are programmed to help the immune system against biohazards and common viruses. They also speed the healing of broken bones and blood vessels (by 50%), and normal tissue healing (by 25%). Internal organs (liver, kidneys, lungs, etc.) are unaffected, since the nanobots aren’t complex enough to handle injuries to those areas. The drawback to this kit is that there is a chance (1 in 50) of the victim being allergic to the nanobots. Their immune system will react to the nanobots and attack them to the exclusion of all else. Symptoms include extremely high fever within six hours of the injection, rashes over most of the body, extreme vomiting, and extreme dizziness leading to death within 48 hours. There is a special nanobot removal drug which, if given within two hours of the first symptoms, will terminate the allergic reaction and kill the nanobots. The drug however, leaves the immune system totally depleted for up to 40 days. The patient must be kept within a totally sterile environment throughout this period. All Project field personnel have been tested to insure that they are not allergic to the nanobots. Team medics are issued two injector for every team member (labeled with their name).

Universal Antibody Weight: 0.907kg One of the most closely guarded secrets of the Project. This drug can cure most diseases within 24 hours and speed healing at up to six times the normal rate. The agent is successful 80% of the time for each injection. Only one injection may be given within a 24-hour period with no more than four injections total being given. The antibody must be “tuned” to the patient’s body chemistry by a med unit connected to a biocomp. If this is not done, there is an 80% chance of death. The medical specialist in each team is equipped with two injectors of this drug that have been pre-tuned to each team member. Universal Antidote Weight: 0.907kg Designed for use with poisons, such as those from snakes or spider bites. The antidote must be injected but does not need to be “tuned” to the patient. It is effective 90% of the time and the dosage routine is the same as that for the universal antibody. Water Chlorinating Kit Weight: 2kg This kit contains ampoules of calcium hypochlorate sufficient to disinfect 3,000 liters of water, and a test kit to determine if the water has been sufficiently disinfected (it cannot determine if the water is clean to begin with). The process takes 30 minutes to fully disinfect and test. This kit also contains 5 bottles of iodine tablets for individual canteen disinfection.

Science Kits
Expanded NBC Independent Field Kit Weight: 20kg
This kit consists of two complete environment units and a smallish, fully automated “receptor”. Soil, water and other “solid” samples are fed into the receptor and, within five minutes, an amazing amount of data can be obtained from the sample. When connected to a computer, it will report the presence in the samples of radioactivity and its intensity, any extraordinary chemical contamination and any unusual biological presences. It will also report the relative lethality of radiological or chemical contamination and assign a “best guess” of any biological contamination found. In depth analysis of chemical or biological specimens by a lab will still be necessary to acquire precise information. This kit is not a magic box. It is an expanded version of the standard issue NBC kit that is keyed to look for particular traces and report on certain anomalies. Without a computer and its database, it will simply provide a readout of certain percentages of various chemical, radiological and biological measurements. Even with the computer, its “guesses” may well be wrong and they are limited to checks for expected contamination caused by The War. It may indicate that a water sample is clean when in fact, it is contaminated with giardia. This is because it is not looking for this infestation since it is unlikely that this usually non-fatal bacteria would be used as a bio agent. Geologic Sampling Field Kit Weight: 7kg To the casual observer, this kit looks like a glorified rock-hound’s set up. It contains the tools and other paraphernalia needed to acquire mineral samples from their native environment. In addition, it has the necessary instruments for charting slope, dip, strike and the like for geologic formations. This includes a Brunton compass, strike and dip measuring equipment, etc. With this equipment, and the Survey Kit mentioned below, and the proper training, the user will be able to construct a geologic map of the area. Meteorological Independent Field Kit Weight: 25kg Within this kit are instruments which can be used to determine air, land and water temperatures, determine wind speed and direction, humidity, air pressure, rainfall amounts, and so on. To be used effectively, this kit must be set up somewhere and monitored. The gear cannot predict the weather, but information collected can be useful in formulating an “educated guess”, especially with the help of a computer. As with everything else, training also helps. The kit is most useful in collecting a database on which later predictions can be based. Soil Analysis Field Kit Weight: 5kg This kit contains everything necessary to collect soil samples and prevent cross-contamination. There is a limited amount of analytic capability inherent to the kit, but in-depth results require the use of a lab. Included in the kit are soil-boring equipment, sample containers, a few chemicals for testing soil acidity and the like and sieves for separating soil materials. Survey Independent Field Kit Weight: 20kg This is a land surveyors outfit reduced to the bare essentials. An optic scope and tripod, “range” stakes and poles, plumb lines, chart paper, solar powered calculator, flags, targets and markers are included as well as a collapsible plane table. With this kit and a lot of time you could lay out a road, river system, dam, bridge site or what have you. With even more time you can make a fairly accurate map. Tree Boring and Bio Sampling Field Kit Weight: 7kg The “Tree Butcher’s” rig is designed to acquire live samples and keep them fresh for a reasonable period of time. It is just about useless without lab back-up. Equipment included in this kit are tree samplers of various sizes, specimen jars for samples of wood, bugs, beetles, leaves, needles, bark, etc., and a digital camera to take pictures. Water Analysis Field Kit Weight: 3kg This kit functions in the same way as the soil kit. It can tell you immediately whether or not a sample is fit to drink. However, anything more detailed (such as why it is not) requires a lab. Included in this kit are sealed containers for keeping samples, biological contamination testing equipment, and some simple chemicals for testing the chemical purity of the water.

Weapons: Machine Guns
Browning M-2HB
The “Ma Deuce” has been the primary commander’s machinegun on Western armored vehicles since the early 1920s. Since its introduction, the M-2 has gone on to become the most ubiquitous firearm in existence. It is a robust and tough design, noted for its extreme reliability under any conditions as well as for its accuracy. Project M-2HBs have been modified with a mount for an optical sight, and quick-change barrel. Cartridge: 12.7x99mm NATO Operation: Recoil Type of Fire: Selective Rate of Fire: 70/150/500rpm Muzzle Velocity: 930m/s Feed: 105 round disintegrating link belt Effective Range: 1,500m Weight Weapon (Empty): 38.100kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 14.564kg Weapon Overall Length: 165.3cm Basic Load: 6 belts (630 rounds) Basic Load Weight: 87.384kg Total Load Weight: 125.484kg FN MAG-58 A belt-fed weapon, the MAG may used as a light or medium machinegun. A variable gas regulator allows a choice of cyclic-fire rate of 700-1000 rpm. The barrel, with a chrome-plated and stellite-lined bore, is quick-detachable, and a heavy-duty version may be used in the sustained-fire role. A very rugged and reliable design that is issued as the team’s base of fire as well as being fitted as the co-axial and anti-aircraft machinegun on many Project vehicles. Known in the US military as the M-240 and produced in two main variants: the C (co-axial-mount) and G (ground-mount). The C has no buttstock or trigger grip, no carrying handle, no sights and a different flash suppressor than the G. Cartridge: 7.62x51mm NATO Operation: Gas Type of Fire: Full automatic Rate of Fire: 250/800rpm Muzzle Velocity: 840m/s Feed: 100 round disintegrating link belt Effective Range: 1,200m Weight Weapon (Empty): 10.85kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 2.994kg Weapon Overall Length: 126cm Basic Load: 3 belts (300 rounds) Basic Load Weight: 8.982kg Total Load Weight: 19.832kg FN M-249 SAW This is the FN-Minimi with minimal small changes to meet the U.S. Army’s requirements for a squad automatic weapon. The changes are largely to suit US manufacturing methods are relatively small, the principal exterior difference is the addition of a heat shield above the barrel. The Minimi has earned a reputation for reliability. It is unusual in being able to fire from an M-16-type magazine or a belt without any modification having to be made. A special cover plate close the belt aperture when a magazine is loaded, or closes the magazine aperture when a belt is in place, so that there is no danger of a double-feed. Cartridge: 5.56x45mm NATO Operation: Gas Type of Fire: Full automatic Rate of Fire: 150/1000rpm Muzzle Velocity: 925m/s Feed: 200 round disintegrating link belt Effective Range: 700m Weight Weapon (Empty): 6.875kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 3.125kg Weapon Overall Length: 104cm Basic Load: 4 belts (800 rounds) Basic Load Weight: 12.5kg Total Load Weight: 19.375kg

It is normally issued to vehicles since it is the only launcher capable of firing a rocket propelled grapnel hook (up to 150m). Cartridge: 40x46mmR Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot Rate of Fire: 6rpm Muzzle Velocity: 76m/s Feed: Single round Effective Range: 350m Weight Weapon (Empty): 2.699kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 0.228kg Weapon Overall Length: 73.7cm Basic Load: 40 rounds Basic Load Weight: 9.12kg Total Load Weight: 11.789kg Improved M-79 In the later years of the Project, it was recognized that the venerable M-79 was in need of serious upgrading. The Improved M-79 replaces the wooden stock of the M-79 with a folding stock (the same as mounted to the G36). A pistol grip and a synthetic forestock were added. Perhaps the best upgrade was the replacement of the M-79s leaf sight with an Occluded Eye Gunsight, a x3.5 sight designed for the vibration of low-velocity grenades. All surfaces are coated with an anticorrosion coating and permanent lubrication is provided for all moving parts. Cartridge: 40x46mmR Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot Rate of Fire: 6rpm Muzzle Velocity: 76m/s Feed: Single round Effective Range: 350m Weight Weapon (Empty): 2.9kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 0.228kg Weapon Overall Length: 36/73cm Basic Load: 40 rounds Basic Load Weight: 9.12kg Total Load Weight: 12.02kg M-203 Designed to be mounted underneath any standard assault rifle.

Cartridge: 40x46mmR Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot, slide open Rate of Fire: 8rpm Muzzle Velocity: 71m/s Feed: Single round Effective Range: 350m Weight Weapon (Empty): 1.361kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 0.228kg Weapon Overall Length: 40.5cm Basic Load: 42 rounds Basic Load Weight: 9.576kg Total Load Weight: 10.937kg Mark 19 Mod 3 Automatic Grenade Launcher A heavy, but reliable weapon that uses the “long” 40mm cartridge, a high velocity design that cannot be used in any other launcher. While the bulk and weight of the weapon and its ammunition are major drawbacks, these are outweighed by the Mark 19’s firepower. Cartridge: 40x53mmR Operation: Blowback Type of Fire: Selective Rate of Fire: 30/60/375rpm Muzzle Velocity: 244m/s Feed: 50 round disintegrating link belt Effective Range: 2,200m Weight Weapon (Empty): 63.483kg Weight Magazine (Loaded): 17.72kg Weapon Overall Length: 102.8cm Basic Load: 6 belts (300 rounds) Basic Load Weight: 106.32kg Total Load Weight: 169.803kg

The M-136 (also known as the AT4 or “eighty-four”) is a lightweight, simple and effective disposable weapon for use against armored targets. A completely new warhead design gives a secondary behind-armor effect in the form of a high-pressure rise and flash, thus producing a blinding and incendiary effect in addition to armor penetration. Caliber: 84mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot, disposable Muzzle Velocity: Feed: Single round, prepackaged Weight Weapon (Loaded): 6.7kg Effect: Penetrates steel, secondary blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: Penetrates 450mm steel, 10m-blast radius Minimum Range: 30m Effective Range: 300m Maximum Range: 2,100m Weapon Length: 102cm Armbrust 300 Light Anti Armor Weapon A German-designed weapon that is actually a recoilless shell launcher using a countermass to eliminate recoil. This allows the Armbrust to be fired within enclosed spaces (one of the very few launchers capable of doing so). The countermass design also traps all of the smoke and much of the noise (little louder than a pistol shot), thus making the detection of an Armbrust launch very difficult. Caliber: 67mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot disposable Muzzle Velocity: 210m/s Feed: Single round prepackaged Weight Weapon (Loaded): 6.3kg Effect: Penetrates steel, secondary blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: penetrates 300mm steel, 5m-blast radius Minimum Range: 10m Effective Range: 400m Maximum Range: 1,500m Weapon Length: 85cm M-3 Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle This is a recoilless weapon designed primarily for use against tanks, but can also be used in a variety of roles. The weapon consists of a rifled tube with a rear-mounted, up-rotating venturi, a sprung bipod-cum-shoulder rest, a pistol-grip firing mechanism and a forward handgrip. An open or telescopic sight can be fitted. The “Charlie-G” is normally operated from the shoulder. A round is loaded from the rear into the breech with the venturi open. Firing is mechanical by a hand-cocked, percussion-operated detonator located in a tube on the right side of the barrel. In addition, a two-pressure trigger and safety catch are provided. As with other multi-purpose systems, a variety of ammunition is manufactured. The main round is a HEAT projectile, but anti-personnel, smoke and illuminating rounds are also available. A newly designed “heavy” HEAT projectile has been placed in service, which allows greater armor penetration. Caliber: 84mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot, breech loaded Muzzle Velocity: 255m/s Rate of Fire: 6rpm Feed: Single Round Weight Weapon (Empty): 8.5kg Weight Round: 3.1kg Effect: Penetrates steel, secondary blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: Penetrates 400mm steel, 10mm blast radius (FFV-551 HEAT) Penetrates 900mm steel, 15mm blast radius (FFV-597 HEAT) Minimum Range: 15m Maximum Range: 1,000m Effective Range: 300m (FFV-597 HEAT), 500m (FFV-551 HEAT), 1,000m (HE)

Weapons: Rockets, Man-Portable
HAFLA DM-34
A single-shot, disposable “flamethrower” that fires an incendiary shell which burns at 1,300°C and burns for 120 seconds. Cartridge: 35mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot Weight Weapon: 0.625kg Weapon Overall Length: 44.5cm Effective Range: 70m Basic Load: 3 rounds Basic Load Weight: 1.875kg M-202A1 Flash A four-barrel reloadable rocket launcher. The shell is incendiary and will cover the 15m-burst radius with burning material that will last for 40 seconds and burn at 1,000°C. Cartridge:66mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Double-action, multibarrel Weight Weapon (Empty): 5.216kg Weapon Overall Length: 68.6/88.3cm Effective Range: 750m Basic Load: 3 clips Basic Load Weight: 20.25kg Total Load Weight: 25.425kg FGM-148A Javelin Anti Tank Guided Missile The newly developed successor to the Dragon, the Javelin employs a command to line-of-sight guidance system and consists of two main parts; a tracker and the missile. The tracker includes a day/thermal sight equipped with a Forward Looking Infrared imaging system, launch controls and the gunner’s eyepiece/display. Magnification using the thermal sight can be up to nine times normal vision and the tracker battery is good for four hours of operation. Caliber: 127mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot, disposable Muzzle Velocity: Feed: Single round, prepackaged Weight Tracker: 6.6kg Weight Missile: 15.9kg Effect: Penetrates steel, secondary blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: Penetrates 640mm of steel, 10m-blast radius. Minimum Range: 65m Maximum range: 2,500m M-152 TOW II Anti Tank Guided Missile TOW, which stands for Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided missile is perhaps the single most common ATGW in the world today. The basic mount is man-portable and capable of being spilt into four units. These are the tripod, launcher, electronic signals generator and the tracking optical sensor. The missile in its container is loaded into the launcher, and electrical connections are made through the container as it is loaded. The wings and control surfaces are folded at this stage but open on ejection. In flight, two wires, through which command signals are transmitted, unreel from the missile. So long as the operator tracks the target in his sight, automatic corrections are made by a sensor to keep the missile on the correct course, the operator does not have to make any range or lead calculations. The Project issue version is the TOW IIC, which can be set for direct or overhead attack. Caliber: 152mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single shot Muzzle Velocity: Feed: Single round, prepackaged Weight Tracker: 4kg Weight Launcher: 116.4kg Weight Missile: TOW II (28kg), TOW IIC (31kg) Effect: Penetrates steel, secondary blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: Penetrates 690mm steel, 10m-blast radius Minimum Range: 65m Maximum Range: 3,750 FIM-92 Stinger Anti Aircraft Missile Entered Project service in 1979. It can engage approaching as well as receding targets and also oblique targets before they reach the crossing point. An IFF feature is incorporated in the aiming unit. The missile is resistant to jamming and is not affected by such heat distracters as flares. It has a top speed of Mach 2.2, thus enabling to engage many high-speed targets. A passive infrared homing seeker is used that makes the Stinger into a fire-and-forget weapon. A laser guidance system is also available where the operator tracks the target through a lightweight, stabilized sight that aligns the laser beam for target intercept by the missile. Caliber: 75mm Operation: Manual Type of Fire: Single-shot Muzzle Velocity: Feed: Single round, prepackaged Weight Tracker: 3kg Weight Launcher: 5kg Weight Missile: 10kg Effect: Blast and fragmentation Area of Effect: 20m blast radius Minimum Range: 60m Maximum Range: 5,000m

There is no fragmentation with this type. As each submunition is expelled from the canister, it flies in a random pattern and flashes after a 0.5-second delay. The flashes range from175-185 decibels and 1,000,000 candelas in intensity. They are carefully engineered to be above the temporary disabling level but not of such intensity as to cause permanent physical damage. The blast and shock cause temporary psycho- and physiological disorientation, preventing any voluntary acts on the part of those exposed to the effects. The duration is short term, lasting from 5-15 seconds and effecting those within a 10-meter radius. Weight: 0.275kg Effective Throwing Range: 35m Fuse Delay: 2.5 seconds Burst Radius: 10m Packaging: 20 per case Package Weight: 15.5kg

Weapons: Mines
M-14 Antipersonnel
This mine is designed to injure only one person. It detonates with 9kg of pressure. It is a plastic mine that is easily neutralized and defused, it is very susceptible to overpressure. Weight: 0.1kg Burst Radius: 0.13m Packaging: 150 per case Package Weight: 19kg M-15 Antitank This mine explodes when the pressure plate is subjected to more than 160kg of pressure or the tilt rod is tilted more than 15 degrees. An individual is unlikely to set it off. The mine may also be remote detonated (up to 50 meters away). The mine is easy to defuse and very susceptible to overpressure. Weight: 14.3kg Burst Radius: 54m Packaging: 2 per case Package Weight: 34kg M-16A1 Antipersonnel This mine, when fired, throws a shell 1-meter into the air. When the shell explodes, it hurls steel balls over a 30-meter radius. This mine will fire from either pressure or up to two 10-meter tripwires. It detonates on 3.6kg of pressure or by means of a tripwire. It is unaffected by overpressure. Weight: 3.6kg Burst Radius: 30m Packaging: 4 per case Package Weight: 20.25kg M-18A1 Claymore Antipersonnel This mine acts as a giant shotgun shell. The mine’s blast sends fragmentation out in a cone 100m long and 50m wide and 2m high at its end. The mine is issued in a canvas bandoleer with an M57 electrical firing device (called a “clacker”) and an M-4 blasting cap with 30 meters of firing wire. The Claymore can be command detonated or rigged to two tripwires. The Claymore is easy to defuse and is unaffected by overpressure. Weight: 1.6kg Burst Radius: 16m (100x50m fan) Packaging: 1 per bandoleer, 6 per case Package Weight: 23.85kg M-19 Antitank A non-metallic blast mine made entirely of plastic. The mine is designed to destroy armored vehicles but may also be used as a packaged demolition charge. The explosive charge is equal to 8.815kg of C-4. This mine requires 160kg of pressure or that its tilt rod be tilted more than 15 degrees. The mine can also be remote detonated (up to 50 meters away). It is susceptible to overpressure. Weight: 12.6kg Burst Radius: 48m Packaging: 2 per case Package Weight: 36kg M-21 Antitank This mine requires 132kg to explode, or 1.7kg of pressure on its tilt rod fuse. It may also use a magnetic or pneumatic tube fuse (when a vehicle weighing more than 400kg passes over it, the fuses will activate). A mine detector is likely to detonate the magnetic fuse, as well as probing with a knife blade. The mine is easily disabled once found, but it is totally resistant to overpressure. Weight: 8kg Burst Radius: 30m Packaging: 2 per case Package Weight: 19kg M-25 Antipersonnel This small blast mine is directional and designed to puncture a tire or wound a foot. It is emplaced by simply pressing it into the ground. Weight: 0.077kg Burst Radius: 0.156m Packaging: 150 per case Package Weight: 18.5kg M-26Antipersonnel This is another bounding antipersonnel mine. It is of a newer design than the M-16A1, but operates similarly. It is harder to defuse than the M-16A1, and is unaffected by overpressure. Weight: 1kg Burst Radius: 15m Packaging: 10 per case Package Weight: 13kg M-88 Pursuit Denial Munition (PDM) This mine is designed to be used to foil pursuit by enemy forces. It is easy to set and may be simply dropped in the enemy’s path. They are small (57x85mm) and can be easily missed by a rapidly moving group. They are difficult to disarm and are immune to overpressure. Once the safety pin is pulled, the mine becomes active thirty seconds later. Weight: 0.54kg Burst Radius: 2m Packaging: 24 per case Package Weight: 17kg

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.
http://books.google.com/books?id=eTb...lition&f=false Of course, there are many jolly uses for det cord that shock tubes can't perform (tree cutting for example). -- Michael B. Last edited by Gelrir; 03-24-2014 at 02:41 PM. Reason: spelling! |
