US Army issue weapons

[headquarters]

if overseas ,the group can have been in units that have seen action and thus have captured weaponry / civillian weaponry .

I agree with your original line up , ( and it adds a few interesting game aspects such as range and damage considerations for the characters as well as for style -the seargant with the pa 12 gage is semi iconic as an action film character )

the post which outlines what is regulation is of course text book .

also I like the fact that you havent over armed - being outgunned is a joy for the players ,they just dont know it on a conscious level , its all in the tingling they get after the session is over and their PC actually survived against the odds..

I like another twist as well - the journalist is a civillian - and thus he gets whatever is left over after the soldiers are armed say a rusty and bent AK that you blunt the stats for so that it gets in accurate and faulty..

anyways - have fun with the outfitting - I like that part alot too.
