Gear of The Black

 GUN RIG

Cost: 30 credits/75 platinum

Availability: ILLEGAL

A shoulder-and-chest mounted harness with a projecting hydraulic swing-arm, distributing the weight of a heavy weapon and stabilizing it against recoil. Gun rigs don't modify much for a user aside from the ability to actually keep a decent hold on where your weapon is pointed.


HARNESS

Cost: 6 credits/15 platinum

Availability: Everywhere

An arrangement of shoulder and chest straps, a vest with detachable pockets, and a web belt, a combat harness is an essential part of any soldier's gear while out in the field. It includes an assault sling that lets you hang your weapon ready across your chest, pointing horizontally when in combat and down when you're idling. A harness is highly adjustable, letting you hook your gear on however you'd best like. No matter how effective it is, wearing a combat harness tends to make you stand out, so leave it at home if being conspicuous ain't part of the plan.


HOLSTER, CONCEALED

Cost: 2 credits/5 platinum

Availability: ILLEGAL

A holster meant to keep a piece out of sight, rather than at hand. 


HOLSTER, NULL

Cost: 75 credits/188 platinum

Availability: ILLEGAL

This interesting piece of gear is just about as illegal as you can get on the Core worlds. A null holster keeps your sidearm safe and snug, and has a mesh flap that stretches over the butt. The material of the holster is "dead" to metal detectors, chemical sweepers, and to any kind of imaging sensor you might pass through in Alliance territory. Unless they're making you strip or patting you down, your weapons'll not be found while in this holster.


HOLSTER, SHOULDER

Cost: 2 credits/5 platinum

Availability: The Rim

A simple shoulder holster for one or two sidearms, configurable so you can draw upwards or outwards. No difference either way, as someone dumb enough to put a gun up where they've got to skin it cross-body isn't to be taken too seriously. All in all it's a garden-variety type of holster that many use with various different styles available.


HOLSTER, SPEED-DRAW

Cost: 10 credits/25 platinum

Availability: The Rim

A gunslinger's rig, a speed-draw holster hangs low on the upper leg, with the butt of the pistol resting just level with the palm of the wearer's hand. Usually the tip of the holster is tied to the leg by a thin cord or strap, and the pistol's held in place with a thumb-break (a small strap over the hammer, snapped to the holster itself, keeping the iron in place but coming loose when it needs to). You see a fella wearing one of these you'd be wise to steer clear.


HOLSTER, TACTICAL

Cost: 8 credits/20 platinum

Availability: The Core

If you absolutely don't want anyone taking your sidearm from you without your say-so, a tactical holster is for you. It features a pressure lock with a few options for releasing the catch, meaning that anyone who don't know what parts of the press have a bit harder time trying to disarm you. While not illegal to own for the everyday folk, it is still the Military standard for holding your firearm.
