INSTACLEAN PORTABLE SHOWER After a long patrol in enemy territory, one of the first things you want to do is clean up! But how many times do your field camps include appropriate wash facilities? No long a worry, because you've got an InstaClean Portable Shower System! Just clip the one hundred liter flexible water tank to a Heat Sink or Freezer unit and fill the tank from any local water supply using the included pump and particulate filter system, then fire up your 'Mech's engine. Waste heat from that fusion core heats the water to a comfortable temperature you select by adjusting the unit thermocouples. Once you're ready, the convenient hand held shower head delivers a steady stream of hot water, just the way you like it. Collapsible 'Modesty Screen' assures private bathing -- or throw a shower party! Sure to be the hit of any camp site! InstaClean Portable Shower 45 C-bills 3 Kgs WORK HORSE TACTICAL LOAD-BEARING HARNESS Ever felt that you're lugging a back-load of bricks across the battlefield? Ever had your pack come lose at the wrong moment, dumping thousands of C-bills worth of electronics into the mud? Ever scrambled for that extra ammo clip only to realize that it's buried at the bottom of your pack, under four days worth of used socks? Try the Work Horse Tactical Load-Bearing Harness next time! The Work Horse weighs less then half a kilogram but comfortably supports sixty kilos by distributing it across your torso, hips and shoulders. Sixteen weatherized velcro pouches and pockets let you distribute your equipment however you wish and the modular holster and ammo pouch keep your side-arm always ready. The clip on pack-sack holds all your filed camping gear. The heavy gortex and micro-spun Dacron construction guarantee years of use under even the most rigorous field conditions, and adjustable straps assure a perfect fit. Availed in flat-black, battleship gray, white and 16 camouflage prints. Work Horse Tactical Load-Bearing Harness 20 C-bills. weight .4 Kilo THUNDERFIST DISPOSABLE HOLD-OUT GUN Continuing our tradition of bringing you the latest developments in personal armaments, Thornhill Arms presents the Thunderfist, a two shot 11 - mm caseless derringer formed of woven graphite fiber. In cross-section, the Thunderfist is only 3 centimeters across and only 10 centimeters long. Readily concealable and containing no ferrous metals, this baby still packs a powerful punch out to 20 meters. Internal chemical propellent fires the ceramic projectiles that are sharpened for maximum armor penetration. And when you've fired both rounds, just throw the empty gun frame away! Available in matte-black, gunmetal gray, olive drab, and silver. Thunderfist Derringer 15 C-bills each. Weight 0.1 Kilo (For MechWarrior simulations: Damage & Range as per hold-out pistol) ARROW IV MISER MISSILE ARTILLERY SYSTEM If you're like me, you hate wasted ammo. And, like me, you applaud the resurgence of guided missiles in modern combat. But still, each wasted shot must irk you, if only a little bit. Come on, be honest. Well, we at Thornhill Arms, the leaders in personal defense technology, have something that might just bring a smile to your face, the Arrow IV Miser Missile Artillery System (or AMMAS, as we call it). The system functions exactly like the Arrow IV Missile Artillery System, first offered in 3050, with one little difference. On board sensors in each missile track the flight, correcting for the acquired target, just like you'd expect, but if the missile misses its target by as little as five meters, on-board systems disarm the warhead so the missile falls harmlessly to the ground. After the battle, you can save those expensive rockets, refurbish them, and use them all over! How's that for a saving! ARRM System 450,000 C-bills. Reloads 18,000 c-bills per ton (For simulation purposes, missed shots can be salvaged after combat at reused 80% of the time at a cost of 200 C-bills per ton. ARRM hits can not start fires or produce rubble.)
