EPS's tactical weapons are confirmed, but they sit bundled inside a broad specialized-equipment budget line rather than itemized on their own.

Confirmed on hard reporting. The inventory runs to 8 sniper rifles with 4 more on order, a tear-gas launcher, night-vision goggles (NVG), and carbines.

None of it is itemized. It all sits inside a $6.8M specialized-equipment budget line, and that bundling matters on its own: it hides the price of any single item behind one aggregate figure.
