"Hm. I'm surprised the knife got that close to them." He chuckled and went over to a table. There he grabbed the needed components to completly overhaul the sniper-rifle. He quickly welded a different type of magazine clip, changing it from conventional to pulse beams. He then put a battery pack in the magazine clip, attaching wires and drilling a larger hole in the barrel. With the last touches, he cut 4 large slits into the barrel, and with a small cutter, he engraved his initials and his division into the stock. "There you go. This should be alot more effective." He handed Noah his rifle back, nodding. "Alright. You need to follow me so we can get you suited up. We have more armor in the back." He led him to a room, the walls covered in heavy armor. "Just a quick warning, the suits are all prototype. The team who designed it decided to call it Kodiak armor. We are the first to use it. Apparently, it has some type of energy shield that's supposed to regenerate while not under fire. Think Halo, but better, newer, and of course, more realistic."
