This is a list of some of the gear of security personnel of the Foundation in Germany. Unlike the parent Foundation in the USA, the sight of armed civilians and civil security services as well as the military and police special forces is very uncommon and would cause a sensation, media attention and - especially in case of armed civilians - would result in emergency calls for official authorities.

Therefore, for guards and response forces who are deployed outside of facilities or in their exteriors, weapons, personal equipment, vehicles and uniforms are chosen for disguise. Depending on the context of the facility, they appear as police, military or a private security service.

Equal to the criterion of disguise, weapons and equipment are chosen for effectivity. Therefore, armour-piercing rounds with high penetrating power is preferred. However, sometimes ammunition supply, precision or cadence are preferred over bigger calibers. Changes in the armament of the depicted authority are often immediately adopted.

Firearms

Overview

In addition to the weapons in this list, every employee of the Foundation can file a request for allowance to carry a certain weapon. Personnel not involved in site security or an MTF need a permit to carry a gun.

Several attachment parts are available for all weapons. For example flashlights, laser-pointers, bipods, grips, drum magazines and optics. The requirement for use is, that they either have to be official standard, inconspicuous for laymen or normally not visible to outsiders, as long as they are not going to be amnesiated.

Handguns

Most security personnel are equipped with pistols or submachine guns as basic armament, sometimes as secondary weapons in combinations with heavier guns or large submachine guns, which do not fit into holsters. Because of its compactness and firepower, the MP7 is the standard weapon Foundation security staff in Germany.
Units disguised as Police are usually appearing as members of the Federal Police, Federal Criminal Police or Customs and are equipped with their Standard-weapon, the P30, sometimes in combination with other weapons. The different weapons of the State Polices are available, but are non-standard.

Rifles

Assault, sniper and machine guns are usually only equipped for use in outdoor missions. Because of their size and the risk from ricochets, rifles are not used indoors if possible. However, short and compact versions with ricochet-reduced ammunition are also useful indoors, especially in spacious interiors like bunkers.

Rocket launchers

Rocket launchers are not part of the standard equipment, though they are usually available on transport vehicles should they be required. They are normally only used in their actual purpose, against ground and air vehicles of hostile groups of interest, and only rarely against anomalous objects and entities. Only the RGW 90 or its scaled down ammunition for the Panzerfaust 3 in 60 mm, is often used against resistant SCPs or their hideouts.

Exotic weapons

These weapons are part of the repertoire of the Foundation, but are only used as in special cases. The G11 for example is stocked in large numbers but is very noticeable. Additionally, spare parts and ammunition are no longer manufactured and have to be produced by the Foundation with great expense, once the stockpile is depleted.

Weapon	Image	Caliber	Annotations	User
G11		4.73×33 mm caseless	Assault rifle for caseless ammunition. Rarely used. When the G11 was meant to replace the G3 of the Bundeswehr, the Foundation bought █000 G11’s; when the Bundeswehr decided differently, they were stored.
G25		7.62×51 mm NATO	Sniper rifle that can be transported in a suitcase with silencer, telescopic sight and attachments.	BW
XM25		25×40 mm	Semi-automatic grenade launcher. In addition to the standard ammunition, the Foundation produces a variety of other grenades like armour piercing, shape charge, incendiary, kinetic penetrator, gyrojet-variants etc. It is relatively heavy and therefore rarely used. Equipped with a high capacity drum magazine, it is the standard weapon of the tactical power armour Mk III.
Flamethrower FLW70	ERROR 403: redacted	Various nozzles	The Flamethrower FLW70 is being produced by the Foundation in Germany and can be used with gaseous, liquid and pasty fuels. With a range of grips and cases, it is available in pistol- or rifle form and as secondary weapon for power armours.

By the use of several combinable lenses, resonators, energy storages, grips and attachments, the weapon can be adapted to every situation. The standard variant is only the size of a submachine gun with an extendable shaft. Because of the missing terminal ballistics, it is only partly usable against organic targets. It is also available mounted weapon for assault rifles, vehicle armament and as secondary weapon for power armours.
R.T.I. Hammer-P1		None	Anomalous weapon from Raptor Tec. Industries. Initially ordered by the Foundation, and until further notice classified as an SCP.

Vehicles

Overview

The situation of armed vehicles is similar to armed persons. The sighting of armoured vehicles, especially military, has become very seldom since the end of the cold war, the withdrawal of occupying forces and the end of international exercises. Within minutes, photos, videos and comments regarding the vehicles could spread over increasingly hard to control social networks.

Although the Foundation possesses military armoured vehicles, or can quickly acquire some from the military, for everyday routines, heavily modified civilian or police vehicles are used. As battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles can only be deployed under aggravated conditions, and a sole infantry approach is not always possible or too dangerous, obvious or concealed armoured vehicles like money transporters, police water cannon vehicles, fire engines and trucks are equipped with retractable or covered weapons. Varying from machine guns to autocannons, mortars, short-barrelled tank cannons and rocket launchers to exotic weapons produced by the Foundation like railguns, laser, sound, particle and plasma weapons and [REDACTED].

In addition to the fighting vehicles in the following lists, every facility has a vehicle fleet of armoured and unarmoured vehicles used for everyday routines, which either are left “civilian” or are disguised as vehicles of the police, fire department, technical emergency service (THW), ambulances or as vehicles of a dummy company. These are usually not used for security related transport of personnel and material.

Although the Foundation in Germany owns variants of regular and exotic military vehicles, only a few of each exist. Overall, the Foundation in German and Austrian ground owns just 1██ such vehicles.

Regular armoured vehicles

This is a list of regular, not improvised fighting vehicles either bought from the original manufacturers, or produced and modified by the Foundation.
During the cold war, the Foundation acquired many regular fighting vehicles to defend their facilities in case of all-out war. In the meantime, the stock has been strikingly decreased. However, the Foundation has kept a certain amount.
Recovery and pioneer vehicles are borrowed from the military if necessary otherwise unarmoured civil vehicles are used.

Because it is rarely used and many additional components have been procured, the newer SPz Puma will not be bought for now.	BW
Wiesel 1 + 2		Various	Many variants available. Relatively often in use and because of its size and portability. Includes Wiesel 1 with Mk20 and RMK 30 autocannons as well as Wiesel 2 medevac, anti-air and mortar systems (the only anti-air and artillery systems in possession of the Foundation in Germany).	BW

Exotic vehicles

These vehicles are used very rarely and only under special circumstances. Some are only in stock because they are prototypes and cannot be sold, or, due to the nostalgia of some members of the site directors, scraping is not taken into account. Most originate from the cold war and have been reproduced by the Foundation because the Foundation with its requirements and possibilities differing from the regular military saw use in them.

Recent events resulted in a concern about a future war in Europe, and as these weapon systems are in some cases the only one of their kind in possession of the Foundation (the military will not lend tanks to the Foundation during a war), some of these vehicles are currently modernized as far as possible, especially concerning armour and electronics.
