Defensive bulletproof shield

Body armour

Offensive/defensive weapons

Equipment – weapons/ammo/armour etc.

Military equipment should be selected based upon the nature of the operation. The weapons you end up with are often not what you would want, and therefore the best must be made of what is available for their use at a given time.However, you will make every attempt to acquire the absolute best equipment. You will rely on your equipment to keep you alive long enough to accomplish your objectives so do spend the necessary time to acquire solid gear.

Optimal equipment for urban operations:

- HK416 assault rifle with “redpoint” optics (4 extra long clips)

Alternatively: any assault rifle (AK 47 etc.). Try to aquire a modern weapon with anti recoil functionality.

- Glock handgun with silencer and laser (2-4 extra long clips)

- 3 splint grenades

- 1-2 shock grenade

- 2 x arm defensive devices (knives)

- Gas mask

Ammo (clip administration)

Assault rifle ammo: 1 armour penetration round, 1 dumdum round (ratio 1/1)

Handgun ammo: 1 armour penetration round, 1 dumdum round (ratio 1/1)

You are likely to face armoured agents (similar armour to yourself) so your primary weapon should have armour penetration rounds. Lead or other weak alloy projectiles will not be optimal. It will be very difficult to aquire some of this equipment but see logistics chapter for specific advice.

- Ballistic Neck Protector

- Ballistic Helmet/Face Shield (with 1,5-2 cm thick ballistic visor)

- Ballistic Vest (upgraded version)

- Consider using leg armour (you may have to create it yourself)

- Consider using additional armour as long as it doesn’t affect your mobility too much.

Armour with rigid panels provides superior protection. Top-grade SWAT vests are with steel or ceramic panels and can withstand armour-piercing handgun and rifle bullets. They weigh more than 20 kg and are more uncomfortable than many other variants so you will rely on scooter/car for transportation.

There are three certified levels of body armour. The most commonly worn, Level IIA, offers realistic protection against all.22,.25,.32,.380, and.38, calibre handgun ammunition, against most 9mm,.357 Magnum,.40 S&W,.45 ACP and.44 Magnum handgun ammunition and against 000 buck shotgun pellets. Level II andLevel IIIA armour protects from even greater threats including 12 gauge shotgun slugs and the "hottest".44 Magnum rounds.

Try to aquire a small police version shield. If unable to aquire it on the market, you may create one yourself if you can provide the materials. An optimal size for our purpose (and provided you have leg armour) would be any size from 50 x 50 to 70 x 70 cm, although most shields on the market are larger. You may have to re-equip with handles, a carrying strap (so you may carry it on your back), police insignia, one or two 10 cm spikes and/or razorblades on the front of the shield (primarily as a deterrent to prevent people from jumping you from behind). The 2 handles should optimally be designed in such a fashion that it stabilises the shield when held by one hand (one handle in the centre), with a second handle at the right side of the centre to reinforce with other hand if you are under heavy fire. A shield like this is excellent when employing a TotM manoeuvre (storming a flank if you are surrounded/a thrust moving forward to enemy location, usually a system protector position behind an armoured police vehicle). The shield is very effective when used in such a context. The weight should not exceed 5 kilograms. Optimally, the shield should have a small window to look through made of defensive glass/plastic. The rest of the shield is usually made from a special type of metal or other bullet proof material. When travelling between two positions, the shield is mounted on your back and only used if approached by more than one armed system protector (police). The shield is quite effective as the system protector bullets, as used in a majority of Western European countries (9 mm lead often from MP5 type weapons), cannot penetrate it.
