How powerful is his railgun? Not all railguns are capable of achieving supersonic speeds. It all depends on the amount of power used to charge the electro-magnets. I cant find the world record for fastest Railgun velocity, but some say that it's Mach 8, while others say that it's Mach 17. It's the future, so I imagine that Mach 17 wouldn't be too hard to reach. That being said, they're more like Railgun cannons instead of Railguns. Based on the fact that he comes from the real world, I would say that it could have a velocity of Mach 3 to Mach 7 or Mach 8, depending on the power source. Isaac made a railgun that had a velocity of Mach 12, but that's because he comes from a technologically advanced time period.
This also brings me into my next "nit-pick"; caliber. What caliber does his weapons use? There's many different calibers to choose from. It's not too important, except for when you're going up against armored targets. Higher calibers can pierce armor, while lower calibers allow you to carry more ammo in each clip. One of the things I do for John is keep an ammo count and clip size on a notepad document, allowing me to keep track of his ammo and to tell me when he needs to reload. You don't have to be as detailed as me when it comes to the whole ammo count thing, but it would help to have the weapon's caliber. That being said, I should add the calibers to John's acquired weapons.:p
EDIT:
Also, what I did for grenades/explosives is that I said that he could carry 4 of each type of grenade/explosive. The only time I allow him to carry more is if he has a bag. It makes you think about how you should use your explosives. It makes you use them sparingly, but wisely. You might want to do that too.

@ S121
Ah that's right...I gotta change him from being of my story Eternal Galaxy to being of Earth which removes the Aura Crystal concept...
Which would then limit the railgun attachment on his sniper rifle. hrm...
The only parameter I had initially for the concept of his sniper was "Able to fire anti-vehicle rounds" and "Railgun attachment would be able to pierce tank armor with ease and take down aircraft." And again, this was in my story with everything all advanced, then Eleos comes in with projectile type fire arms and makes everyone scratch their head cause of what he could do. And the reason I had the two distinctions was I was l was thinking normal, non-military, non reinforced, vehicles.
So in short, his sniper rifle is really high caliber
His other guns...not as much.
For specifics I'll have to do some calculations.
On the equipment...ya I gotta work that out.
He would have a bag like a messenger bag with the explosives. His belt has ammo clips for his automatics and the usual bandolier for his revolvers and sniper. He also has two pouches with incendiary/Napalm rounds and other special bullets for specific missions.
Explosive count...
he would have
C-4 x 8
Frag Grenades x 3
Flash Grenades x 2
EMP Grenades x 2
Ammo count...
I would need to work this out but for now:
Automatic x 200 (in prepared clips of 20 each so 10 clips)
Revolvers x 75
Sniper (Normal) x 100 (Railgun) x 5
Special Bullets x 10 (dependent on mission)
For more specifics on his sniper
It's a bolt action
capable of being loaded with 5 bullets at a time (no clip)
The railgun is an attachment under its barrel. One bullet at a time.
I also need to work out how to make it so he can switch between regular variable zoom scope to thermal/night vision
Also the equipment I forgot: string, rope, knife and grapple hook.
and this is obligatory now

Well, if you want a very high caliber rifle, there's the 20mm rifle. It's able to punch holes in aircraft, but the rifle is very large.
It is only rivaled by the .950 JDJ rifle, but it has a LOT of recoil.
They are both a higher caliber than the .50 caliber rifle.
