Guardsman Armor
From Marvel Database

History
Stark wanted to create a cheaper, scaled-down version of Iron Man, to be used as a back-up. A flaw in the cybernetic control of the original design led to the original user, Stark's friend Kevin O'Brien, being driven insane. He ended up dying in a fight with Iron Man.
The armor was discovered, stolen and donned by O'Brien's brother, Michael, an NYPD sergeant who wanted to get revenge on Stark and Iron Man, although he later decided that Iron Man was a hero. Michael O'Brien retained the armor (once the flaw was removed) and became security head for Project: Pegasus.
The armor was later put back into production by Obadiah Stane. Stane sold number of armors to the Vault for security. Oddly enough, Michael O'Brien was now security head for the Vault.
Edwin Cord produced modified versions of the Guardsman armor for the Jury.
Damage Control and the CSA have also worked on versions of the armor.
Notes
The current version of Guardsman armor has a bulkier frame and is outfitted with mounted guns on the shoulders.

Capabilities
The armor only has the basic capabilities of the Iron Man armor. It can fly, fire repulsors, and has limited life support.It enables the user to lift roughly 40 tons. The armor was powered by a thermoelectric generator and had a 500 watt chemical battery as a secondary power source. Flight was attained through chemically fuelled bootjets that could reach 250 mph and would allow a lift capacity of 1,500 lbs.
