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. Ben Wharton University of Manchester ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Heh! I can only tell you what I know.

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*.
