Once again, another re-organization of our armed forces has left some of our equipment without a purpose and thus, sitting on a base waiting to be scraped.

However, you can be the owner of this equipment if you act now.

OOC: 500,000 M1A3's seems like a godmod to me. Anyway what is the difference from your M1A3's and a M1A3.

I had a feeling it would be a bad number to use, but I wasn't sure what a good one would be, I'll change it to something more suitable.

There isn't that much of a difference between my own and a standard M1A3, mine are just cheaper now because I'm trying to get rid of them.

The Holy empire of Iraqstan would be glad to purchase 2,500,000 M16A2 assault rifles and 2,500,000 Baretta M92F pistols to supplement the ageing and over worked People's militia weapons.
