Stinger

by Jeff Roberts

Next time you hear a helicopter, your first instinct won't be to run for cover - not when you've got Uncle Albert's new Stinger™ brand surface-to-air missile! Uncannily accurate, and it packs a devastating punch that'll bring those high flyers down to earth, and fast! Warning: Tests have shown the Stinger to be significantly less accurate when fired against ground-based targets. As with all items Uncle Albert's reccomends you read the instructions carefully.

Stinger - To hit 7 (vs. air targets) or 11 (vs. land targets), 5 grenade-equivalents, $1000, one-shot weapon, 3 dice damage, 1 die damage in 2" burst-effect radius. Weighs 30 lbs. and takes up one space in cargo.


Bazooka

by Jeff Roberts

One of the most powerful weapons a pedestrian can pack. A century ago, tanks feared the infantryman with a bazooka - strike that fear in opponents again! Available in limited quantities, so order now!

Bazooka - To hit 9, 4 grenade-equivalents, $1500, 1 shot, CPS $50, loaded cost $1550, 2 dice damage, 1 die damage in 1" burst-effect radius. Does full damage to vehicles. Ammo is $50, 1 grenade-equivalent per shell. Takes two seconds to reload alone, one second for two people. Weighs 25 lbs. and takes up one space as cargo.


Riot Shield

by Max Hutchinson

In many on-foot combat situations, it's not the opponent you can see, but the ones you can't that are the biggest problem. Now, Uncle Albert can give you effective protection from both with the Riot Shield. Distributed worldwide through an exclusive agreement with Canada's Maxxon Corporation, this high-quality item is a true lifesaver!

Riot Shield -- $750, 3 grenade equivalents. This transparent shield has 7 DP and acts like a wheelguard: When the pedestrian carrying it is hit, roll one die; on a 1-4, the shield takes the damage first (with any leftover hitting the pedestrian), and on a 5-6, the pedestrian takes full damage. The Riot Shield will only protect a 180-degree arc. A Riot Shield will not protect someone inside a vehicle, nor will it protect a motorcycle driver or passenger.


Windjammer

by Norman Rule

Save! Save! Save! Yes, you too can save on the high cost of running a big rig! All you have to do to save 10%, 15%, maybe even 20% on powerplant charges is to equip your truck with the new Windjammer!

Windjammer -- $500, 70 lbs., no space. This item is an airfoil that fits on the front part of the roof of the cab, directing airflow up and over the trailer. This improves mileage of a tractor-trailer combination as follows:

SPEEDPOWER UNITS/10 MILES
407
558
6010
7012
8014
9016
10018

The Windjammer can be armored - armor costs $18 and weighs 9 lbs. per point. 20 points armor is the maximum, and the armor can be made fireproof, laser-reflective, or both, at the usual penalties to cost and weight, and the armor type must match the rest of the vehicle. The Windjammer takes damage before the top armor in attacks from above on the tractor.

You can still mount a turret on a tractor equipped with a Windjammer, but the turret is restricted to the left and right arc of fire (it already can't fire to the back, because of the trailer). For $200, 30 lbs., and 1 space, a device can be installed that will raise and lower the Windjammer from inside the cab. Doing this is a firing action, and it takes one turn for the mechanism to raise or lower the item.
