"Von Lichtenstein is considered one of the most dangerous men to have ever lived."
I got that, I meant halfway through when it drops the Von while talking about geopolitics.
That's his last name.
Yeah, I got that. I know that's his name, but at a certain point it sounded like the country of Liechtenstein was somehow involved, which raised some questions in my mind. Since it's a tiny micro-state.
I re-read the sections that confused me And realized the misunderstanding. It sounded like the country itself had somehow played a role to help Germany rearm, which threw me for a loop and made me think there was really divergent alt history stuff in Europe, but it was actually referring to Liechtenstein networking with other secret organizations while Germany was rearming.

[X] Standard BETSA agent tool kit.
BETSA agents have to deal with a wide variety of threats, as such the standard toolkit of a BETSA agent is designed to be as flexible as possible.
First and foremost one will notice a BETSA agent's armor. This outwardly plate-like armor is a multilayered and multipurpose. The outward plate are a ceramo-metallic mesh that is superior to anything used by American law officers or soldiers due to the enhanced threats facing BETSA agents. This armor can absorb powerful kinetic blows and distribute the force, this can include bullets, shockwaves, punches, and strikes from stones or tails. It is also heat and cold resistant to a great extent to prevent easy cooking or freezing. On the outer and innermost layers of the armor are thin electro-plated layers of silver with options of panels plated with other metals harmful to preternatural threats. Under the plate layer is a layer of woven super material composite that provides more protection from kinetic blows, electrical attacks, heat, cold, and preternatural attacks with runes woven into the fabric itself along with thin strands of silver, gold, and other materials harmful to certain entities. The helmets worn by BETSA agents are loaded with sensors allowing them to see heat, UV light, and entities invisible to baseline humans such as ghosts or non-corporeal demons. BETSA helmets are also typically blessed by religious specialists and enhanced with runes.
The most iconic BETSA weapon is the SP-24 Smart gun. This standard issue assault rifle is loaded with a wide variety of ammunition types before battle with the ability to switch between them available to agents at any time. Standard ammo types include conventional, silver, gold, platinum, pink gold, ectoplasm jacketed, incendiary, and types enhanced with materials like white oak and salt. Holy water is involved in the forging of these bullets in special facilities and they will typically be enhanced with runes and blessings. Unfortunately one can only ever bring so many bullet types and threats are unpredictable so agents will often find themselves unprepared for the job at hand. One may find they packed bullets blessed by a Catholic priest when facing a threat that would have been better dealt with by blessings from a Buddhist monk or a Sufi mystic.
Other weapons are of course available to BETSA agents. These include the standard JX-9 "Terminator" sawed-off shotgun for close quarters combats, with shells blessed and loaded with a mixture of materials like silver pellets, blue rock salt, ect. The standard "Purifier" RE-45 sidearm pistol packs quite a punch and has the same smart features of the SP-24. For larger threats the "Behemoth" rifle fires rounds designed with armored vehicles in mind with densified rounds enhanced with blessings, runes, and spells for taking down armored and multi-ton opponents at a range or even close up.
Leaving the world of firearms every BETSA agent is armed with a variety of specialized hand grenades. These include standard explosive, anti-"tank", incendiary, holy (emitting a spray of holy water), salt jacketed, sonic, cryonic, poison gas, EMP, anti-traction, capture string, and anti-movement foam. These grenades are also designed to be fired from a HJ-Y7 grenade launcher if available.
At any time a BETSA agent is expected to be armed with a concentrated UV light emitter for dealing with threats repelled by sunlight.
In terms of melee weapons every BETSA agent is expected to be armed with multiple knives made of a patented alloy enhanced with silver and spells with runes carved into the blade and hilt being optional. Telescoping combat staffs are also available, as are brass knuckles with additions ranging from cold iron, pink gold, white gold, gold, silver, platinum, oak, wormwood, and other materials for studs. The standard "Disembowler" switch sword with a blade that can be slid out of the handle for space considerations made out of the same material and with the same processes as BETSA knives are also available, usually to those in the "Ninja" units.
Heavier weaponry has become more available in recent years such as rocket launchers with specialized rockets, tanks and armored vehicles with specialized rounds, BETSA helicopters with enhanced machines gun rounds and rockets, and the newer T-9 powered combat platform exoskeletons. As of yet the battle to acquire a full BETSA air and naval division continues.
