Armor:

Improved CVR-3 Series Cyclone Body Armor:
The engineers at Florida Base realized that they could improve the CVR-3 Body armor by using the new materials available especially the alloys used in the Coalition's new body armor types. The REEF was able to acquire a sample and create a modified version of the CVR-3 body armor. The alloy was modified so that the body armor would be resistant to laser weaponry (The suit takes half damage). The suit may still be used with cyclones but is available in a light and a heavy style. CVR-3B is the light style and CVR-3C is the heavy style.
M.D.C.: CVR-3B Light Cyclone Body Armor gives 75, CVR-3C Heavy Cyclone Body Armor gives 100, and both are laser resistant (Lasers do half damage).
Weight: 9 lbs (4.1 kg) for CVR-3B Light Armor and 15 lbs (6.8 kg) for CVR-3C Heavy Armor.
Mobility: No prowl penalty for CVR-3B Light Armor and Good mobility (-10% prowl) for CVR-3C Heavy Armor.
Features:
• Complete environmental battle armor suitable for use in space and other hostile environments.
• Computer controlled life support system.
• Internal cooling and temperature control.
• Artificial air circulation systems, gas filtration, and humidifier.
• Computer controlled, independent oxygen supply and purge system that automatically engages in low oxygen or contaminated air environments. Eight hour oxygen supply maximum.
• Insulated, high temperature resistant shielding for up to 300 degrees centigrade. Normal fires do no damage but Nuclear, Plasma, and magic fires do full damage.
• Radiation shielded.
• Polarized and light sensitive/adjusted tinted visor with additional sensors and advanced optics: Passive nightvision with 2,000 foot/610 m range, telescopic enhancement with 5 x magnification and 6,000 ft/1,820 m range, Laser distancer with 2,000 ft/610 m range, and Laser Targeting that gives +1 strike bonus with 2,000 ft/610 m range.
  Directional short range radio built into helmet. Range is 5 miles (8 km.)
• Helmet with removable faceplate
• Wrist and Helmet Mini-Computer: A multi-purpose miniature computer and display that will indicate system errors within the armor, damage levels, and oxygen supply, as well as directions (Compass), calculator, time, date, air pressure, and radiation.
Black Market Cost: Very rarely if every available

Weapons:

Gallant H-90B:
Modified version of the Gallant H-90 with the main additional feature of controlled burst firing, slightly better ranges, and slightly more powerful in pistol mode. It has been fitted to use standard Rifts long E-Clips in rifle mode but still uses a special Mini E-Clip in pistol form. The weapon has the addition of a three round burst setting in both pistol and rifle mode. The weapon still retains the ability to fire longer bursts. Like the original weapon, the base weapons is a pistol but with the addition of additional barrel length and a stock with power boosting equipment built in becomes a powerful energy rifle. The final addition is an integral laser targeting system and optional cyber-link equipment. The weapon may be fitted with a vibro bayonet in rifle mode. This weapon is slowly replacing the M-160 in REEF service
