look in the denver sourcebook im sure its in there. No, it's not. An infantry battlesuit was an unpowered suit of body armor
designed to provide more protection to frontline troops than the flak vests of
days gone by. The IBS has the full torso armor of previous military grade armor,
with the addition of shoulder pads (pauldrons), articulated ballistic material
sleeves, and leggings with integral kneepads. As stated in Wasted Warriors, the
IBS helmet "is the helmet worn by active duty military units of the
North and South before and during the War, and as such, most were destroyed. It
is a full-face helmet, with an anti-dazzle laser mirrored visor, 0.5 mile radio
(runs off the bodyâs bioelectric field), digital battlefield link to a command
computer (found in all APCs) and full respirator system. Unfortunately, most of the respirator
filters have been removed and few of the radios work these days. AV 2 to
head. If filters are in place, the
helmet provides sealed protection against gases and airborne inhaled
toxins."
Hope this helps,
