The word to remember here is *toys*. A couple new guns would be nice, but
personally I'd rather see nifty things that help runners do the same kind of
stunts that happen in the novel or in all our imaginations. For instance,
the magnetic cyberlimb accessory from Cybertechnology was truly cool, but if
you checked out its stats, only a human with four cyberlimbs and a Body of 4
could use it. (Or three limbs and a Body of 3.) Not exactly the kind of
penetration equipment a samurai wants.
Or the fiber-optic goggles from Security Handbook.
You know, *toys*.
