Weapons (http://www.freewebs.com/bluebomber/storefrontweapons.htm)
We recommend the sniper rifles, the HADHATRRs because they can fire from the water, and the laser pistols because they are very silent.

Scroll down for powersuit (http://www.freewebs.com/bluebomber/storefrontother.htm)
Our combat suit is one of the many overlooked gems of nationstates, and has a wide variety of useful features.

order confirmed thankyou for your order.

((OOC: Sileetris, is that future tech stuff? Just want to know, because I'm modern tech, and I guess buying future tech stuff at those costs would seem a little... off? I dunno, I'm still new at this so I'm not sure.))

Bump!

-The sniper rifles and rocketlaunchers are modern tech(easily buildable with current weapon technology)
-The laser pistol is post modern.
-The suit is pretty post modern(alot of it is possible, but not at that price in modern times) so you would have to pay more for them(like $6000 base price). Because they are only going to special forces it could be argued that they are useable at modern tech, since special forces often get the highest tech gear.

Very well. We shall purchase 10,000 Laser Pistols, enough to arm our entire special division and leave us with a few extras just in case. We will also take the same number of AntiMaterial Sniper Rifles for the same reason, and 5,000 MADHARRs. Now, for the big spending: If possible, we would like 5,000 Environmental Battle Armor suits ((OOC: That's the suit you were talking about, right?)), assuming that would not be too much of a strain on you. They would each be outfitted with Auto-Med, Aquatic Combat Kit, Hacking Computer, Engineering Addon, Defense Package, and Commander Suite. They therefore come to a cost of $11 950 each. If we find these suits satisfactory, as I am sure we will, we may extend usage to our general military as well, if at all possible.

The total cost should be:

10 000 Laser Pistols ~ $2 million USD
10 000 AntiMaterial Sniper Rifles ~ $13 million USD
5 000 MADHATRRs ~ $4 million USD
5 000 EBA suits with above specifications ~ $59.75 million USD
TOTAl: $78.75 million USD

This shall be wired to you as soon as the order is confirmed.

couldn't help noticing the boat you were selling kazquim... Could we have 200?

PSS Silenced Pistol

http://www.rusarm.ru/Simages/Pss1.jpg
The 7.62 mm PSS is an individual weapon for special forces units. It is used for silent and flashless fire under the conditions of concealed attack and defence.
The original design of the pistol and ammunition allows to use the pistol without a removable silencer providing smaller dimensions.

The pistol is automatically reloaded after each shot. The design of the striker and trigger mechanism makes it possible to deliver single shot fire both with preliminary cocking of the hammer and automatically. Safe handling is ensured by the safety catches which rule out a discharge when the trigger is accidentally depressed or when the pistol is dropped.

The silencing capability is achieved generally due to the special design of the ammunition. The sound level of the shot is comparable to that of an air gun. The effective range of specially designed SP-4 cartridges is up to 50 m. The bullet penetrates a vertically arranged 2 mm steel plate or standard army helmet at a distance of 25 m retaining its lethal effect.

Calibre, mm 7.62
Muzzle velocity, m/s 200
Sighting range, m 50

AS Silenced Assault Rifle

http://www.rusarm.ru/Simages/AS1.jpg

The assault rifle is operational with the Bisonic special force units and is used for covert missions. The weapon is designed to ensure silent and flashless fire at a range of up to 400 m.

Cartridges with enhanced armour piercing bullets are used for shooting. They are effective to defeat manpower protected with armoured jackets, 5 mm steel sheets, or unarmoured transport vehicles.

The weapon is gas operated. Locking is obtained by rotation of the bolt. The striker-type firing mechanism ensures selective single shot or automatic fire.

A special muzzle silencer is used to reduce the crack of the weapon.

The rifle has a folding butt and may be outfitted with an optical and night sight

Confirmed.

M-29 SABR OICW
Caliber: 20x85mm Grenade & 5.56x45mm NATO
Weight (total): 5.5 kg empty, 6.8 kg loaded
Weight (carbine alone): 2 kg empty
Length (total): 890 mm
Barrel length: 460 mm (GL), 250 mm (carbine)
Rate of fire: 10 rounds per minute (GL), 800 rounds per minute (carbine)
Magazine capacity: 6 rounds (GL), 20 or 30 rounds (carbine)
Effective range: 1000+ m (GL), 300+ m (carbine)
This is a two-part advanced infantry weapon that includes a small 5.56mm carbine (based on the G36) and a 20mm grenade launcher. A computer and laser rangefinder in the grenade launcher module allow for the round to be fuzed for airburst at any selected range over 200m, as well as standard impact fuzing. This gives the weapon much greater versatility than the M-16/Grenade launcher combo it's designed to replace. The only drawback is the lack of an arcing trajectory like other grenade launchers, which can be useful at times.
Cost: $10,000

M40A1 sniper rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester)
Operation: Bolt action
Weight: 6.58 kg
Length: 1176 mm
Barrel length: 610 mm
Magazine capacity: 5 rounds
Effective Range: 800+ m
This is an exceptional weapon that combines accuracy, relatively light weight, and reliability. It is designed specifically for military use.
Cost: $2105

DSR-1 Sniper Rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm Match, .300 Winchester Magnum, or .338 Lapua Magnum
Operation: Bolt-action
Weight: 5.9 kg empty, without scope
Length: 990mm
Magazine capacity: 5 rounds (7.62mm), 4 rounds (.300 or .328 magnum)
Range: 1000+m
This is an exceptional weapon that is among the most accurate in the world. It is, however, very expensive and not designed for extended operations, limiting it to police and special forces use. Still, its long range and high accuracy make it a useful weapon.
Cost: $7700 (7.62mm), $7900 (.300 WM), $8100 (.338 LM)

Blaser 93 Tactical sniper rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm Match, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum
Operation: Bolt-action
Weight: 5 kg empty
Barrel length: 600 mm
Magazine capacity: 5 rounds (7.62mm), 4 rounds (.300 or .328 magnum)
Range: 1000+ m
This is a decent weapon noted primarily for its interchangeable barrels, which can be switched in a matter of minutes, allowing it to be quickly reconfigured to accept any of the three major sniping rounds.
Cost: $2850

M98 sniper rifle
Caliber: .338 Lapua Magnum
Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 7 kg
Length: 1175 mm
Barrel length: 610 mm
Magazine capacity: 10 rounds
Effective range: 1000+ m
This is best described as a medium sniper rifle, filling the gap between the 7.62mm weapons and the heavier 12.7mm ones. It has better range than smaller weapons, but is nowhere near as heavy as the larger ones, making it a good long-range weapon.
Cost: $4000

Predator Sniper Rifle
Caliber: .408 Stryker Tactical
Length: 1038 mm
Barrel length: 692 mm
Weight: 9 kg without scope
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Range: 1800+ m
Accuracy: .5 MOA
This is a powerful weapon chambered for our new .408 Stryker Tactical round. It’s notably lighter than the bigger .50 cal weapons, though it has similar range and higher accuracy.
Cost: $8200

M95A2 heavy sniper/anti-materiel rifle
Caliber: 12.7x99mm NATO (match or standard .50 BMG)
Operation: Bolt action
Weight: 9.98 kg empty without scopes
Length: 1143 mm
Barrel length: 737 mm
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Effective range: 1800+ m
A large, powerful rifle chambered for the .50 BMG round. Though it has long range and high hitting power, it's too heavy and bulky for most infantry operations, limiting it to primarily special forces use.
Cost: $6000

M82A1 heavy sniper/anti-materiel rifle
Caliber: 12.7x99mm NATO (match or standard .50 BMG)
Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 14.75 kg
Length: 1448 mm
Barrel length: 737 mm
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds
Effective range: 1800+ m
This is an older weapon that's very similar to the M95. Its main difference is that it's a semi-automatic weapon rather than bolt action
Cost: $6000

IWS-2000 Anti-Materiel Rifle
Caliber: 15.2mm
Weight: 18 kg
Length: 1800mm
Barrel: 1200mm
Action: Semi-automatic
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Penetration: 40mm RHA @ 1000m
This should not be mistaken for a sniper rifle, as it is designed entirely for the anti-materiel role, and it’s easily one of the most powerful weapons ever fielded by an infantryman. Though this weapon is extremely large and quite heavy, it has enough power to take out most light combat vehicles and even many IFVs at ranges of over one kilometer. During transit, the barrel is removed from the rest of the weapon and carried separately. Otherwise, this gun would be too long for practical use.
Cost: $14,000

M136 AT4 light antitank weapon
Caliber: 84mm rocket
Weight: 6.7 kg (loaded)
Length: 1020 mm
Effective range: 300 m
Maximum range: 2100 m
Minimum range: 10 m
Armor penetration: 400mm
This is the replacement for the old LAAW rockets, and is a single shot tube housing an 84mm antitank rocket. The weapon has negligible recoil, and, unlike its predecessor, it does not need to be extended before firing. After the rocket is fired, the tube is discarded.
Cost: $1480

M224 light mortar
Crew: 2
Caliber: 60mm
Weight: 21.11 kg (8 for lightest configuration)
Length: 1016mm
Maximum Effective Range: 3490 m
This is a very light, easily transported mortar system that provides light indirect fire support for infantry forces. Its main benefits are its small size and high rate of fire, being able to sustain an impressive 20 rounds per minute over extended periods.
Cost: $10,700

AN/PVS-7 NVG
Weight: 0.68 kg
Standard night vision goggles. Not too much else to say here.
Cost: $2500

ENVG (Enhanced Night Vision Goggle)
Cost: $8000

Total System Weight: 38 kg
