Robby, the icons themselves are decently clear, but the backing is too complicated for an icon. You could keep the silhouette of the file folder, but I would simplify it into a solid shape (you could keep the gradient). The Shield icon looks out of sync with the rest of the icon set, I think adding some details to help define that its a vest would fix this. The health and the medkit are well done. You've used several gradients, and that's fine, just be sure that they add rather than detract, for example on the keycard, the subtle gradient results in a nice overall appearance, but on the music/sound it ends up hurting the silhouette and weakening that particular icon. Pull back on some of the more intense gradients, simplify the backing, adjust the shield. Good job overall Robby.
I can tell what each icon represents very well. The shape all of them sit in dominate each icon though, and I think it would look better if the backing and the icons (like the power mode and ammo) didn't have kissing edges. I think it would have been better if there was a bigger color range as well instead of most of the icons being grey. Good job on the shapes and gradients though :]
