Give your infantry the fighting edge they need with BattleArmor. It turns the average troop from a minor threat into a powerful killing machine (almost qutie literally).
http://www.solaris7.com/Images/Art/FSInfiltratorMkII.jpg
Using technology from their potent line of BattleMechs, BattleArmor is an effective way of increasing the average troop's survivability, maneuverability, and firepower greatly. Troops are able withstand being struck by enemy fire, shrapnel, and intense temperatures. The suit is also able to enhance the soldier's performance. He will be able to run faster, jump higher, and last longer than an average unarmored troop.
Before you purchase, there's a few things you should know:
BattleArmor is controlled by the soldier himself, but what's doing most of the work are the mechanics of the 'Armor. Using triple-strength myomers, nerve impulses recieved from the soldier instruct the 'Armor to move accordingly. So if the soldier wants to lift his leg, he would, just like if he was without it. But instead of him taking the weight of the 'Armor's leg, its mechanics kick in and lift the leg for him. It's basically like "wearing" a robot that you control. The BattleArmor's processor adapts to the soldier's personal movement. Some suits are outfitted with jetpacks that allow the soldier to fly for a brief period of time, but he must land to recharge the pack. Recharging is done automatically by the suit (it's not "refueling", it's just waiting for the jetpack to be fully powered again (OOC: see also: Tribes 2)).
BattleArmor is designed for individual soldiers, and each soldier that is assigned to wear the 'Armor must put in at least 30 hours of training in order for it to "learn" how the soldier moves.
BattleArmor is cooled or heated by a climate control unit. This allows the soldier to operate in extreme temperature spectrums. From a frozen iceland to a scortching hot desert. The helmet is equipped with a hands-free radio system, sensors, and night-vision displays. All Armors' information, from the amount of ammo the soldier has left or his current position, to how many times he muttered Terminator one-liners can be monitored via satilite from a command center.
All BattleArmors have built in standard weapons. These are encased within the 'Armor as well as the ammo. The ammo is fed to the weapon automatically, so reload is not neccisary. Ammo cases are highly shielded to prevent ammo explosions. Troops are also given a rifle that is operated just like a normal weapon. These are called primary issues, and when you order your BattleArmor, please specify which primary issue you'd like the 'Armors to be outfitted with. Yes, you can order 100 of one type of suit, and 50 of them have one type of primary issue, and the other 50 have a different primary issue.
Special note: Soldiers who are assigned to wear the 'Armor must be at top physical condition. Many systems within it are designed to assist the soldier in handling the 'Armor, but it still requires quite a bit of strength to operate. I suggest that these be used by soldiers who see extremley heavy combat, such as marines.

Uber? Yes. Bulky? Kind of. But that doesn't mean it's restricting. You can't pull off ninjas moves in it but you're not as stiff as a zombie
mine obsorbs 90% of all damage untill its in pieces, and is cheap. around 2,000 dollars.
If you had a breach in one area of the armor, all shots could get through in that area and cause damage to the wearer. Plus the whould suit wouldn't get shot up piece by piece until it's totally gone, and THEN you start taking more damage.
And damage from what? Small calibur rounds? Knives? Sniper bullets? Atomic bombs? Details...

Benderland, a Leopard II can simply run over a battlearmor, crushing its inhabitant.
What's it going to do? Stand there like a deer in headlights? The BattleArmor can jump on top of the tank, rip open the hatch, and the crew members inside are screwed. When BattleArmor faces an armored vehicle, its best tactic is swarming the target so it can't hit them, or at worst take out one or two of them.
These newbies with their lack of logic... seriously. Think before you speak.
A modern tank is mere cannon fodder for these. These are future tech. They're dealing with greater threats.
and if the BattleArmor is facing the other way?

You're asking the dumbest questions. First of all, the occupant is aware of what's going around him. He doesn't have a bucket on his head. In fact, his sight is enhanced due to the sensors within the helmet.
And the most expensive of these battle armors are $370,000. You'd have to be retarded to think that people can't afford to produce these.

My informants, within the Attican Empire, have confirmed that his test simulation is accurate. Of course the people in the leopards and the people wearing modern weaponry were his best troops; and the people wearing the battle armors where people from his own gene pool. Of course thats the error in his simulation. He used retarded inbreds for the battle armor experiment and not normal people.

Frankly, AK-47's are measly pea shooters compared to battle armors. Their fingers wouldn't be able to manipulate the trigger. However, I like your vulcan cannon idea. But it might be a tadd too powerful to use while moving. Maybe if they operated it with a bipod...

The Sambizie would like to purchase 3,000 INF-5 Infiltrator MkII's as we find that these will be an excellent addition to the Fleetships. Approx. how long will it take for the delievery? We would like them to be aboard our ships when we "formally" announce the fleet. In addition, we would like to secure your service for the INF-5's as we intend for them to be assigned to our "primary" battlegroups. Depending on delievery time and your ability to ship in bulk, we would like to place an additional order for 3,000.
Respectfully,
M.Uganda

All shipments arrive within days (OOC: less than a minute in real life) upon confirmation. But if you need to, we can rush them to you within 24 hours (OOC: seconds after this post) for free.
Your total is $990,000,000 for 3,000... $1,980,000,000 for 6,000.
*$1.98 Billion wired*
We thank you for your service and expect further purchases in due time. We would of liked to purchase the DS-4 Deathscout, however we purchased them elsewhere a while ago.
Thank you again, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

As stated, we would like to place a "duplicat" order.

*$1,980,000,000 auto wired when confirmed*
