Mr. Fixers sales emporium... you get it, we'll sell it.

Mr. Fixers sales emporium is owned and operated by Mr. Fixer, an older, slimy, ork of a salesman who would sell airconditioners to the awakened polar bears along the artic circle. He is so sleazy that he will sell anything for an overinflated price. You can usually talk him down in price to get a 75% discount, but a lot of what he sells isn't worth even that. He is a sleezeball and give orc salesmen a bad name.

Post his sales with a pic here. (I want to see what you got!)

Here is a link to one of the most modern wepons known to man. It is so good that we can't even begin to tell you about it. For you chummer, I will even give you an automatic discount of 1000Y. After knocking that 1K off the price, it is only a measely 2000Y! That's right my friend, all this grand wepon is yours for a miniscule 2000Y. It is a wepon any runner would die for.

Here is an item that I think any Shadowrunner would love to have. It's a warning device that also attacks the intruder. Not only is it impervious to being tapped into on the matrix, but it is portable. I will sell this beauty for the low, LOW price of 100,000Y. Do I have any takers?

TPz (Transportpanzer) Fuchs (fox) is an armoured personnel carrier developed by Daimler-Benz and built by Thyssen-Henschel (now Rheinmetall Landsysteme) in 1979. It was the second wheeled armoured vehicle to be fielded in the Bundeswehr. It is used for various different tasks including troop-transport, engineer-transport, bomb disposal, NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) reconnaissance and electronic warfare. By mixing and matching the different models and retrofit kits, today more than 90 different combinations are possible, 32 of which have so far been produced. The TPz Fuchs is thus also referred to as a "retrofit platform".

The vehicles engine is a Mercedes-Benz Model OM 402A V-8 liquid-cooled diesel with an output of 320 hp. It has a max speed of 105 km/h and a range of 800 km. Fuchs is 7.33 m long, 2.98 m wide and 2.37 m high. It weighs 18.3 tons with the capability to carry an additional 6 tons in equipment. The 6x6 APC is characterized by high performance over all terrains and low noise. Its rear-mounted propellers and 360° turning range, enable the vehicle to take water obstacles in its stride at up to 10 km/h.

Armament

The TPZ Fuchs can be equipped with up to three Rheinmetall MG3 general purpose machine guns, one of which is mounted on a manually controlled turret. Fuchs' of the Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion, Panzergrenadiers (mechanized infantry), the Franco-German Brigade, the mountain infantry and the Jäger (rangers) of the German Army are also armed with MILAN anti-tank-guided missiles (in this configuration max. two MG3s can be mounted). Recently some Fuchs' deployed in Afghanistan were also equipped with a HK GMG or an M3M instead of a MG3.

Improvements over the years

The vehicle's ability to withstand high-performance, armour-piercing ammunition fired not only from small arms but also from lightweight carriage-mounted machineguns, as well as shrapnel (e.g. from artillery rounds), and to augment its protection against anti-personnel and antitank mines had to be improved.

Due to the weight and volume restrictions they had to use advanced armour materials to meet the protection specifications. Compared to equally effective steel or aluminium alloy armour, modern armour materials enable weight savings of 50% or more.

The modular armour protection system used in the TPz Fuchs encompasses six harmonized, complementary elements which in part operate in coordinated fashion:

* add-on armour mounted to the exterior of the vehicle housing;
* anti-mine protective plating in the wheel cases;
* reinforced bullet-proof windows;
* reinforced bullet-proof visors for shielding the window exteriors;
* spall-lining of all interior surfaces of the vehicle compartment, and
* a shielded gun mounting (except on the medical vehicles).
