AGNOS Arms to create new weapons based on customer desires

Agnosticium
20-09-2003, 15:31
As our past has shown, we have tried to do everything possible to satisfy our customers and provide them with cutting-edge technology and weapons systems that would make their armed forces as great a match as ay other force on the planet (modern tech, of course).

Following in this tradition, while still developing our own systems for what we think are the important points of warfare, we are now reaching out to the myriad of customers we have and wish to ask for your inputs on the creation of new weapons systems. We would like to produce systems that are not a compromise to your own needs, but a fulfillment of those needs.

Of course, we must ask that for things such as tanks and aircraft that an order of no less than 200 be placed should the proposal make it to a final stage. For naval vessels, we are willing to require only a two-vessel requirement upon completion of the final plans.

Please submit your requirements here and we shall be in contact with you regarding all applications.

We are here to setrve you.

I'd like a gun that can fit in a coat pocket, and has a range of several hundred miles. I'd also like the bullet to be able to destroy a small country, while causing no damage to passing ducks that may be in the area.
Oh, and I'd like it to cost no more than £5 if possible.

I want a battleship that looks like this:
http://home.pacbell.net/bselby/graphics/webporfolio/toyboatweb.jpg
It should be named S.S. Little Toot.

Naturally, it has to be able to conquer all the naval vessels it encounters and must be in the range of several thousand megatons.

I would like you to redesign our Cossack tanks. they have to be light and fast, but not powerful. Also redesign our Czar tanks which have to be heavy and slow but tres, tres powerful. (Little bit of French class.)

OOC: In response to the first two replies to my initial post, I was intending for this to be less than the usual farce that many threads turn out to be. Personally, I'd very much like it if you wouldn't waste my time with the worthless drivel you have posted. In fact, unless you have something constructive to add (something not absolutely ludicrous and childish), please do not post on my thread again. Thank you.


IC:
As for Dworniev, could you please be a bit more specific. We were wondering what you would consider "fast." Powerful is not a problem as we already have an idea of what is powerful on today's armor.

How about 70 mph.
OOC: I think the fastest tanks today go about that speed. I'm kinda lazy when it comes to specifics.

IC:

We are very interested if Agnos Arms could provide a range of logistics ships and amphibious, most notably docking ships (not the landing ones) and submarine tenders.

Omz222, I was wondering if you've already seen the submarine tenders we currently offer and the tankers as well. If not, then you can find them under the designation AMT at the AGNOS Arms Manufacturing (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41165) thread. If these supply vessels and tenders are not sufficient, tell me what you would need and we will work to provide those vessels. If you have any requirements on the amphibious docking vessels, please let us know and we will begin research and design work immediately.

Can I get a light, reusable infantry anti tank system, that can be fired from one hand in enclosed spaces?
It doesnt have to be long range, but I would like it to be able to take out a modern main battle tank from the rear.
We are future tech, so use whatever you feel you need.

Very interesting.

On the amphibious docking vessels, we just want to have the ship a bit more "survivable", and can hold more equipments, than the San Antonio class LPD.

We are also interested in whether you sell dreadnoughts. Our requirements are heavy armor, 64-128 cell VLS, 14-16inch guns, and hangar to hold 6-12 helos, plus 12-24 F-14-size fixed wing aircrafts.

This can be produced with future tech (we will soon begin a future tech store as well) and we are willing to work on it. What kind of armor are you looking to breach so we can best judge what type of system to use.

We need a light Ground Attack Fighter, as our design doesnt fit up to much.

The MA-15 is a aerodynamical disaster.

The TA-13 is now a VTOL Ground Attack Fighter.

Needs to replace the A-10.

Goodnight.

Most of what we end up against is steel or aluminum, if you want we could make this a joint venture, GLACORP is working on its own PAAR system (see thread), and we could use your help.

The amphibious vessel should be no problem and we have already begun development on this for you. We shall submit no less than two proposals for your perusal.

As for the dreadnought. We do not currently sell any vessel meeting the requirements laid down, but we are most certainly eager to work upon such a project. We will need a few things from you regarding this vessel, however.
1. Should the fixed-wing aircraft be able to be recovered by the dreadnought or should they be launch only?
2. What is the maximum angle of elevation that you are looking for on the 16" guns?
3. Do you require that the VLS cells be in one location?

1. Launch plus recover.
2. About 45 degrees.
3. Yes.

My nation is changng our vast military very quickly due to new technology being donated and develpoed, We currently use an Upgraded(Faster, Heavier armor) m1a4 abrams tank with our plasma ordinance and lazer replacing the machine gun. Beause we are a nation whose military is alsays moving(we're an island) i do not have a regular army, just a vast marine corps. I need better Armor for my armor divisions. I have done my research and seen that the best thing for me would be heavy mechs. If you could Design mechs for me I would love to pay what you ask. I need them to have Medium-heavy armor, Plasma or better ordinance, and lazer or better secondary weapon. Missles and rockets are acceptable for tirtiary weapons.

By that length, I am assuming that you mean barrel length? Other than an upgraded main weapon and engine, slightly shorter profile (lower the suspension), you are describing a T-90 MBT. If you would like for us to make these changes we will do so, but it would be more economical of you to simply cast the barrels yourselves, drop the sustension via the structure supports along the axles of the wheels and installing your own engine. Simply buy the rest of the tank from a common T-90 vendor. We can and will do it all for you, but you might have better success at them yourselves for less investment.

I would like a fully-automatic rifle. Capable of shooting up to 18 miles. It should be able to fire a 44mm bullet. It needs a scope capable of plainly aiming directly at a persons head at up to the full 18 miles.
The Ultimate Snipers weapon. I need about 2,000,000 of em. Im sending you 400 billion. I think that should be enough...........and then some.You just get the job done.

Future tech would make this weapon feasible, however modern tech will not. Even a railgun will not be able to maintain a straight-line direct targeted shot due to the simple laws of physics. Also, with a 44mm round (whch is huge), you are going to have significant recoil, but we can compensate for that. Please let me know if you are loking future tech or modern tech.

Modern = now
Future = anywhere from 100 years from now and more

I want tanks, w/o gun or turret, filled with the best explosives available. Light armor on the tanks (1/4in) and VERY fast (80mph). Also, see what you can do to increase blast radius. I would appreciate an estimated time of completion.
