Stefan was one of the last people to open his box. He had stared at it a little longer than he intended, but he too needed to find out what he had. Compared to some people here, he figured his gear wouldn't be too impressive. The first sight that greeted him was a ballistic kevlar vest. The same one he had used in the force, it seemed. There was a bit more bulk to the stuffed box than he was used to. He gingerly pulled out the vest, putting it aside as he went for his handgun. The gun was heavily modified and had strayed far from any original design, in this day and age, information and staying ontop might as well be a quick way to victory and even cops had to modify their weapons to not fall behind. The gun came with a holster too.
The gun had a silvery sheen to it and the clip looked a little longer than it should be. If he remembered correctly it fit 12 rounds. While the gun could handle many various sorts of ammunation his personal favourite were heavy discharge rounds. The bullets were there too, a light blue metallic hue to them. These rounds were designed to flaten more easily, they didn't pierce armor as good, but once they hit, they stuck in a victim's body, releasing a powerful burst of electricity. He put the handgun aside ontop of the kevlar vest, taking up a baton.
It was considerably larger than the shock baton's the guards on the bus used. But it seemed to serve the same function, albeit it looked quite a bit more dangerous because of it's size. He took a moment to switch it on, causing electricity to crackle across it's length, bar for the grip that is. He seemed content that it was working, putting it aside again after switching it off. Stefan took all the bullet boxes out of the box, putting them ontop of the kevlar. There was one with an ammunation type he didn't recognize. Huge metal rounds, they had a dull gunmetal grey hue and looks like grenades you might put in a grenade launcher.
He took out a small device, along with the wrist communicator Mantis had spoken off earlier. The device he was fully familiar with, it was a kinetic barrier though this model was considerably updated compared to the older one Almberg had used. The device could activate a shield against high speed projectiles, though offered no protection towards anything that didn't move at least as fast as a bullet.
Amongst a rebreather mask and several different kinds of grenades, all which he put aside neatly, he found something he hadn't expected. He tugged it out of the box, revealing an absurd crossbowlike weapon. Only it looked high tech and didn't appear to fire bolts. The weapon had a grey metallic colour to it, with blue glowing indicator fields, measuring heat levels it seems. He quickly realized what the large metal rounds had been for. This was a railgun. He recognized it because roughly 3 months ago, he had his eye out for this military grade weapon.
The weapon had been presented to him at a convention for law and military enforcement, they called it a tank crew killer. Mostly because the high velocity and impact of the slug could rip right into the hull of a tank. The slugs could even be modified to explode after a delayed time. It was a destructive weapon. It had a major downside though, to generate the railgun effect, mass levels of heat were created. The gun needed to cooldown after each shot. This weapon could only fire a shot roughly every 12-20 seconds by his estimate. Precious seconds that could get you killed. If you kept firing after that, it could take up to a minute for the gun to cooldown. He realized it had lockdown procedures in place, as to prevent it from breaking too. He felt a really uncomfortable with the levels of havoc it would cause if it hit a human. It wasn't quite his style, but he'd probably need it.
"I'm impressed, Mantis. How did your superiours even manage to get this stuff? I mean, to recover my gear is one thing. To get me this...lovely thing is another. Thank.. your superiours from me, eh."

Long post, damn it. It'll have to do for now. Will follow up with another one soonish. Decided not to make it any longer than this for now.
