The Viper Soldier was a marvel of military design, a combination of high technology and primordial fear. Kaukolastan DARPA had designed these uniforms with the intent to break a soldier's mind and will to fight. The uniform began with an elite soldier, trained to the limit of human abilities. These soldiers were wrapped in an reactive, sealed body glove, then their dull gray BDUs. On top of this was the light combat armor and shock plates. The soldiers wore full gas masks, with a large black rippled air tube running to a converter unit on their chests. The goggles on the mask were ruby lensed, and the flared helmet covered everything not already masked. On top of the converter and over the light armor was a heavy armored trench coat. This coat started with a high collar, clasped around the chest, then draped to their jackboots. This coat was filled with heavy combat armor. Each layer of the armor was sealed from the one below it, making this armor not only effective and terrifying, but HAZMAT capable.

The Viper had emerged from two schools of thought in the DoD, one who wished to have a rapid reaction force in the event of a WMD strike, a unit that could deploy into the contaminated zone to sterilize the opponent and aide more conventional survivors. The other goal was a perfect shock soldier that could wield any weapon and strike fear into the hearts of their opponent. The Viper did both of these, with its advanced electronics, superior armor, sealed environment, and outright terrifying appearance.

Upon entering combat, Viper doctrine calls for several steps:

First, Smoke is popped to obscure combat zone, and if indoors, power is cut. This maximizes the Viper's internal vision enhancement and disorients the enemy.
Each of the Vipers carries a jamming equipment, which is activated to ruin enemy C3, and for psychological impact. Enemy frequencies are hijacked with white noise and discouraging subliminal messages of death.
The Vipers engage with all weapons at their disposable, including CS or BZ agents to magnify effects of sensory deprivation. Primary weapons include liberal use of flamethrowers.

This use of psychological shock warfare is enough to break an enemy's will to fight, and often his mind. Combined with the Viper's superior C3 equipment and incredible armor, the heavy shock soldier should prove a devastating force in the battlefield.

OOC: Never seen them. This is from a book I wrote, but in the book, there's GenEn, MagShielding, and lovely other enhancements involved... plus blatent use of nerve gas.

I've been working on revolutionary shock troopers. Very nice, although I'm not going to use it as a basis. :D

that’s cool, im kinda of speaking for Kstan (im pretty sure i can do that, being one of his close friends, if not, dude, tell me to shut up :wink:) But he introed these in a book he’s writing, well, finished writing. My nation uses them as well. And I provided the picture, he gives us credit, at the bottom in 1pt font....ungrateful.....anyways I guess what im trying to say is
thanks for the feedback!

I write a bit myself, primarily about disgruntled youth plotting vengeance against the town of their upbringing, becoming the "perfect terrorists". I'm using their dress to model my shock soldiers I'm thinking up.

Let's see, I had the Kevlar trenchcoat idea and I included that... uhm, there are some ideals on how to leave no trace evidence behind on assassinations (uniquely modified guns to eliminate ballistics fingerprinting... whole section on the working of parts. Took me HOURS of research and thinking), a few concepts on camo that can allow the person to pass through heat sensors, etc. I'm working on background research for this shit, and it's eating up my time, and with finals rearing it's ugly head tomorrow... ugh...

sound slike you got a great idea going there


one simply way to fool thermal optics is to be wet, ir cold, what if you could, somehow, line the coat with a frozen substance,like.....dry ice, or liquid nightrogen? i nkow that sounds tarded......it WOULD work, if you can think of a way to do it

Ice Bullets... Archaic. If you can make them work. Anywho, back on topic...
