A Silver-barrelled Revolver with a well-worn but carefully maintained Rosewood Grip, the word "Lucky" inscribed onto the left side of the barrel. It has a tendency to hit weak points in armour and particularly vulnerable sections of the body through pure, blind luck. It can fold into an old western belt buckle, a gold leaf four leafed clover on the front.
Originally left to Ted Westwood by his grandfather, Jeb Westwood Senior, the mystic revolver, "Lucky", possesses supernaturally enhanced accuracy and power, and the ability to morph its form due to the spirit of the Old West inhabiting it, the collective subconscious of the idealised form of the time period crystallising into the weapon of the ideal Gunslinger, one who took the law into their own hands and brought their own brand of justice.
This Artifact can be used as a handgun. It is roughly the same size as a handgun but can be collapsed into Old West Belt Buckle and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Standard issue in the Future Soldier's home time, the Personal Shield Generator (PSG) projects a protective energy barrier around the body. It absorbs damage far better than traditional armor, but its battery is quickly drained. When depleted, the PSG must spend a few seconds recharging.
When struck, the normally-invisible field of the PSG flashes, revealing a bright yellow honey-comb pattern encasing the body.
