Alvarezistan is currently liquidating its supply of old, outdated munitions that our armed forces no longer have much use for. We are currently selling them at discount prices to nations or national movements who are in need of arms for any just cause: to defend ones territory from outside aggression, to overthrow an oppressive regime, etc.

Please note that the purpose of this storefront is to provide arms to groups or nations, specifically socialist or anti-capitalist ones who could not afford them otherwise and who are truly in NEED of these weapons for a just purpose. We reserve the right to refuse a sale to any nation or interest whose principles we disagree with.

The venerable RPG-7

http://www.g2mil.com/Rpg7.gif

Soviet made, the rocket-propelled grenade launcher fires a rocket out of a tube. The launcher rests on the firer's shoulder. The rocket is percussion fired and the gasses escape the nozzle at a high velocity. This causes the rocket to launch. Just as the rocket emerges from the tube, large fins spring out from the rocket. These fins along with a motor on the rocket allows the missile to travel a great distance. Hint: Your chance of taking down a tank with one increases greatly if you shoot for the weaker rear or side armor. Price: $200, $30 for each additional rocket.

Calibre: launcher, 40mm

T-80U MBT

http://www.angelfire.com/ab5/WWTanks/Russia/Tanks/T80/T80.jpg

The T-80 is a modern tank capable of competing with armored forces fielded by industrialized nations. However, Alvarezistan's armored forces have been mostly upgraded to the superior and more advanced T-90 series, and thus we have about 350 sitting around that we just don't need anymore. T-80U carries the 9M119 Refleks (NATO designation AT-11 Sniper) anti-tank guided missile system which is fired from the main gun. The range of the missile is 100m to 4,000m. The system is intended to engage tanks fitted with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) as well as low-flying air targets such as helicopters, at a range of up to 5km. The missile system fires either the 9M119 or 9M119M missiles, which have semi-automatic laser beamriding guidance. Price: $3.5mil. (OOC: Which is probably a gross underestimate, but these are heavily discounted.)

OOC: Hmmm... a shop for Anticapitalists? :roll:
Oh, and on a more practical note, prices are conspicuous in their absence. Might want to fix that...
08-10-2003, 05:05
We're selling this stuff dirt cheap. We gotta get rid of it somehow.

Whoops.. think I forgot to price the tank.
08-10-2003, 05:07
All prices fixed. The T-80 was the only one missing them, actually..
08-10-2003, 17:21
Bump. C'mon, there's gotta be angry guerillas or desperate governments who need weapons somewhere.

Silly commie, T-80's are more like 3.5 million each.

CT, order confirmed. Weapons currently being shipped.

Free Rumania: Admittedly the tanks are a bit high (mostly because I have no idea where to find actual tank prices), but we're currently facing a budget shortfall. Besides, the T-80 is a fairly formidable tank.

If you'd like a rule of thumbs...

If you are giving two hundred thousand soldiers AK-47's, you would generally like each one of them to carry more than three magazines a piece.

Economy-ruining communist swine!
I put my hard-extorted wages into the Contra movement because of people like you!
Just to show how much I dislike pinkos, I'm going to personally boycott your store.
So there.

Economy ruining?

Depends on where you follow Bolshevik or Menshevik teachings really. The Mensheviks would hve probably have had a strong economy.
09-10-2003, 15:08
Aww, boo hoo.. land reform in Nicaragua putting a dent in your profits? United Fruit not having its way with the peasants as much as you'd like?

Well, cry me a fuckin' river.
