WOW! what a neat idea. but i fear half of my players would die after about 
10 minutes (as would i, it's been a good 15 years since a DS called me

wife and kids... hummmmm.......

the WWII encyclopedia i have (World War II: A Visual Encyclopedia; PRC 
Publishing Ltd; 1977/ud1999) lists the british 'ack pack' as...
"...weighed 49lbs when filled with four gallons of fues, could be fired no 
more than ten times, each a ten-second shot and had a maximum range of 
50yds."

hope this helps some...
