It consisted of the flourescent orange and green body armor with the two-handed phaser. Mark V was introduced in 1995 and became the most well known version of the equipment. It was manufactured approximately late 1993 through 1995. Mark IV utilized a custom created BMX plastic body armor and the electronics were updated. The Mark III and Mark IIIb were introduced in September 1992. Mark III was used a BMX body armor and the 2 handed phaser was now made from a polished plastic material. The phaser was reshaped into a two handed phaser made from a material that was very similar to a rubberized material. Mark II was the same harness and electronics as Mark I. The phaser was a one-handed phaser with a clear barrel. It was a harness with a small 6' box containing the electronics in the front and a small 2' x 6' box holding the battery in the back.
