New equipment list

A thorough re-read of the Technical manual as part of the rules rewrite resulted in some changes to the equipment list. So there will now be a new equipment list with changes to some weapon & ammunition weights before the new rules are done. It will anyway be good to have the equipment list up to date before looking over rules for carry capacity etc. The TM is the primary source for this and real-world military equipment weights the secondary.

This also gave me the idea to maybe add an equipment list feature in Skynet which could be saved there between missions and automatically be generated on the back of the character sheet. But so many things to..

The new list is now available for download as english PDF. This is the first update to our equipment in maybe 5 years and there has been some significant changes. After careful studies of the technical Manual I have corrected some items and weights according to "the canon".

Main thing to note is ammunition weights have gone up and this will also affect weapon weights when fully loaded.

Also thanks to the BF5 medical staff for their input.

An updated/expanded version of the booklet with some weapon & item descriptions would also be a good idea, not sure if I'm doing that next or saving it for later.

There will be a smaller equipment update later as I continue with the rules and make some adjustments for everything to fit together as some items will have stat modifiers.

Made the booklet as well, will be printing them for Lincon. Equipment list is now at version 2.01, this will have to do for now as a good enough base before I get into the rules details.

One notable change is that the SIM-118 Hornet launchers are now singleshot only. The reusable ones were to expensive to produce so the corps opted for a cheaper solution after the latest round of budget reviews.

The SMG has been renamed from M42A1 to M39. There is no canon SMG from the movies or TM, but this matches the Colonial marines computer game.. so why not keep it the same.
