SUB-MACHINE GUNS
The sub-machine gun offers
the professional a high rate of fire and
lightweight maneuverability when in close
proximity to the mark. The sub-machine
gun is the least subtle choice when on
a job and doesn’t offer the accuracy
or anonymity of a silenced weapon.
SHOTGUNS
The shotgun is devastating in close
quarters but makes a lot of noise!
The professional will only resort to using
this type of weapon when backed into
a corner or as a last resort.
SNIPER RIFLES
The professional’s choice, the sniper rifle
is the most powerful and accurate
means of eliminating the mark. This
weapon can be silenced and used long
distance from a safe vantage point, then
broken down into a concealed briefcase.
The sniper rifle is
the favorite weapon
of the professional
and, when mastered,
is the deadliest ally.
REMOTE BOMBS
The remote bomb is another useful tool which
the professional can plant in a mark’s room
and then detonate from a safe distance.
The professional uses explosives intelligently
and strategically to eliminate the mark.
RIGGING BOMBS
An explosive device
placed on the fixing
point of a chandelier
not only eliminates
the mark successfully,
but is also initially perceived as an accident, ensuring your smooth exit
from the scene. There are other ways a professional can choreograph
a hit to be perceived as “accidental.” See ENVIRONMENTALIST below
for an example.
THE FALL
The professional looks for opportunistic suspended items that could
demolish a mark. These can be brought crashing down with clever use
of explosives, or by shooting glass or fixture points using a high-powered
weapon such as a sniper rifle.
ENVIRONMENTALIST
The professional has an eye for ingenious ways of dressing a hit as an
accident. For example, when in a kitchen, the professional notices the gas
burner and its explosive potential. He weighs every opportunity and makes
the hit look like a freak accident whenever possible.
BINOCULARS
The professional’s best tool for surveillance work. Binoculars provide
an excellent tool for surveying and spying on the mark’s behavioral patterns
from safe distances.
MISSION BRIEFING
The professional carries the mission briefing
throughout the contract so that he can refer
to objectives and mark information at will
and leave nothing to chance.
MAPS
Detailed maps and intelligence are paramount
to the success of a contract. The professional
uses maps as his main navigational means.
The map’s attention to detail ensures that he
never gets lost and that detailed intelligence
on guards, security and the mark’s location
are always at his fingertips.
The professional can buy additional info and
intel on more complicated jobs to ensure that
everything goes smoothly. This additional data
is always included on the map.
