[sci.military] "Nice" Equipment request

whartonb@ p4.cs.man.ac.uk (05/29/90)

From:       whartonb@ p4.cs.man.ac.uk


Could some of you out there supply me with a selection of equipment names
that I could use for the basis for names for weapons that might exist
in the future. ie I want them for my script which involves lots of nice
hardware.

Types required:  Special Forces (Delta, Marine Recon) Rifles
                 Sniper Equipment
                 Image Intensifiers/Gun Sights
                 Communication Gear
                 Anti-Personnel
                 Crossbows!
                 HEAT/Armour Piercing Rounds

And any others you might think useful for a Specialist Unit hunting
a group in city terrain.

Any military terms or sayings would be great too.

If anyone can be bothered, thanks in advance.

"Heh! I can only tell you what I know. I can only tell you what I have
found out. And I have found out that if there are 365 days in the year
they've got 365 ways to screw you. You wanna be a screenwriter? You're
a hired hand. What you want to  be is a clothes  designer, but  you're
not, you're just a tailor. Sometimes it's a good movie, sometimes it's
a shitty  movie, but it's never - it's never - what's in *here*. Write
novels. You should go write a novel.  I'm just telling what it's like.
