Starship Troopers, here we come!

I hear that the leg torsion activators will use hockey-puck batteries, the ankle torsion devices will use those little batteries that go in the M68, the hip torsion devices will use a variant of the batteries used in the RT-1523, and the shoulder, elbow, and back actuators will use variants of the PAS-13 batteries, 9-volts, and the old PRC-77 battery from the good ole days, respectively. This is all, of course, to simplify logistics.

Acquisition chief. You sound like the perfect candidate...

I pity the poor guy who has to field test this thing in Afghanistan or Iraq. I hope it won't be me.

it'll fail at the worst possible time and since it cost seven gazillion bucks, they'll send two birds with Apache escorts to pick it and you up so they can charge you with an Article 134 violation of some sort (of which you'll be exonerated because the CID Investigators aren't going where you've been...). So it'll all work out okay, they'll take it back to the drawing board and someone else will get to try out the M1A1 version...

The real problem is the poor guys that have to go try to retrieve the spare battery supply from your trial the extraction crew forgot to pick up...

Think Tin Man vis a vis Dale Brown novel...

I'd test drive that...

I look at it like my desk. Give me a bigger desk, the more crap I'm going to clog it with.
