For ooc comments and ooc planning.
Information on US powered armor units: Besides what has been mentioned already in the thread.
The suit is powered via a small triangular gray box located on the bottom right rear side of the unit. Taking out the unit takes that soldier out of commission by eliminating the power source. If the soldier is hit there and the suit is not removed, he might die from heat exhaustion because the cooling unit relies on power from the power unit which provides power for everything. The unit can protect the soldiers from 5.56, 7.33, and 50 cal rounds. It can also protect against the impact of nearby grenade and mortar blasts.
What it cannot do: (weaknesses)
It cannot stand up to a full clip of 50 mm rounds. Repeated hits from a 50 cal will destroy it and anyone wearing it. There is no armor that can withstand repeat impacts. Repeat impacts destroy the armor by shattering it and allowing follow up rounds to fly through the resulting holes or cracks. At most it can stand up to 15 50 cal rounds before failing. So you can either try to hit the power unit or you can keep hitting it with 50 mm bullets.
Conversely, because the armor is actually a powered unit, you could deactivate mass amounts of them by detonating an electromagnetic warhead overhead which would fry the unit's circuits rendering them useless in battle.
Before I forget, they can't stand up to direct hit with an armor piercing anti tank round. The designers never took into account that someone might get the idea to go after it with anti tank stuff.
As for mortars: It can take hits from mortars of 500 lbs of power or less. Anything between 500 lbs and 1,000 lbs, will cause significant damage to the unit while the soldier in the unit will be unharmed. Above 1,000 lbs will destroy both the unit and the soldier in it.
The assualt weapon:
Its based on that rifle the Israelis are using. It can be modified to either look around or shoot around corners. To look around corners it has a tiny monitor on it that you can look at. The camera is located just below the exit of the barrel. Whereever the camera is pointing that is where the bullet goes.
It can be blinded if you shoot the camera off of it.
Other than that, it works just like any other assualt rifle. Including being able to have a modification added so it can fire grenades.
