The Canadian Tundra
14-11-2003, 03:14
With the Canadian Tundra's strong economy, and growing military, the Defense contractors of the nation began building up their production capacity, until a point was reached at which we found ourselves able to begin small exports of infantry arms and equipment. While we hope to one day sell vehicles as well, we realize this will not happen for a number of years.

OOC: If you feel the stats are unrealistic, or the costs are to high/low, please say so, so i can make corrections. All weapons are the most modern availabe, and the base stats were taken from the official Canadian Army website, i then modified the stats to reflect the use of the most up to date technologies available.

List of Pictures (http://www.geocities.com/canadian_tundra2003/images/)


A-7 Assault rifle:


When the Canadian Tundra's military was being formed, it found itself in desperate need of weapons and equipment. Not one to depend on foreign nations for its most simple of military needs, the various corporations of The Canadian Tundra, under direction of president Ethran Verian, commissioned a new series of infantry weapons and equipment. When The Canadian Tundra moved to the Arctic Islands, the nation's various defense contractors, now merged together as one corporate body, Tundric Armaments Incorporated, decided to designate their new weapons as the Arctic series.

The first weapon to be commisioned for the TDF (Tundric Defense Forces) was the A-7 assault rifle. The A-7 is the Tundra's adaptation of Canada's C-7 rifle (which is in turn, is their adaptation of the american M-16). The new A-7 makes use of the latest technologies available, light-weight materials, enhanced rifling techniques for better accuracy and range, and also, an enlarged magazine.

The new rifle soon saw widespread deployment among the TDF, and soon production reached the level where exports were possible. The A-7 export is the same as the standard TDF A-7, but without the engraved arctic wolf on the butt of the gun. The A-7 also includes several options, such as the A203 grenade launcher, the removal of the carrying handle in favour of an optical sight, and an underslung shotgun.

Armament:
Cartridge: 5.56mm x 45mm NATO
Rate of Fire: cyclic, 700 to 980 rounds per minute
Magazine: 45 rounds

Specifications:
Weight: empty - 3 kg, full - 3.6 kg (not including A203 grenade launcher)
Length: normal butt, 1.0 m
Barrel Length: 530
Operation: direct gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed
Range: 500 m
cost: $800 USD

A-8 assault carbine:

With the purchase of a full armored division off of Clan Smoke Jaguar, The Canadian Tundra found itself in need of a more compact version of the A-7 to outfit their armour crews with. Tundric armaments incorporated went to work on a new version of the C-8 assault carbine.

Designated the A-8, this new rifle once again uses updated technologies and production techniques to increase its capabilities while retaining as low a cost as possible. The rifle soon saw widespread deployment not only among armour crews, but also among the crew of the Tigerclaw, and aircraft pilots.

Armament:
Cartridge: 5.56mm x 45mm
Rate of Fire: cyclic, 700 to 960 rds/min

Specifications:
Weight: empty, 2.5kg., full 3kg.
Length: butt closed, 720mm, butt extended, 800mm
Barrel length: 400
Operation: direct gas, selective fire
Feed: 45-round detachable magazine
Range: 450 m
cost: $750 USD


A-6 Light Machine gun:

Another weapon in the Arctic series, this one is a light machine gun, basedo on the Canadian C-9 light machine gun. Again, newer technologies have been applied to bring it in line with the current times, an upgraded rate of fire, an additional 100 meters of effective range. Ammunition is the popular 5.56 NATO round, although we only sell 300 round boxes with a belt feed.

Armament:
Cartridge: 5.56 x 45mm NATO
Rate of Fire: cyclic, 800-1,100 rds/min

Specifications:
Operation: gas operated
Mode of fire: automatic only
Feed: belt or magazine
Weight: 6.75 kg
Length: 1.00 m
Barrel: 0.50 m
Rate of Fire: cyclic, 800-1,100 rounds per minute
Effective Range: 700 m
cost: $3500 USD

Tundric Browning 9-mm Pistol:

This weapon is based on the Canadian Browning 9-mm pistol. Again, it is manufactured using light materials, and is also slightly smaller. Its capabilities are slightly increased to make for an all around better weapon, and the magazine size (and pistol grip) have been enlarged for a 15 round standard magazine.

This weapon is mass produced at several facilities throughout the Tundra, and is the standard issue sidearm of the TDF and the Canadian Tundra's police forces. Corporate security, rent a cops, and even registered civilians also make use of this pistol. This widespread use of the weapon allows for a cheaper cost to do the sheer numbers being produced.

Armament:
Cartridge: 9mm x 19mm
Specifications:
Weight: 0.75 kg (with empty magazine)
Length: 18 cm
Barrel length: 12 cm
Operation: recoil operated, semi-automatic

Sight Radius: 159mm
Muzzle Velocity: 400 m/s
Effective Range: 50-60 meters
Cost: $250 USD

A-3 Sniper rifle:

With the formation of the 9000+ infantry strong Winter's Warriors division, and the 15 000+ strong 2nd Arctic infantry, the Canadian Tundra found itself in desperate need of support weapons, anti-tank rockets, machine guns, SAWs, and sniper rifles.

Tundric Armaments soon redesigned, and put into production the A-3 sniper rifle, the Tundra's adaptation of the Canadian C3A1. As with other weapons, this rifle was built using cheap manufacturing methods, and fields extended range, a more powerful sight, and an enlarged magazine while also featuring a reduced weight.

Armament:
Ammunition: 7.62mm x 51mm NATO Match Ball
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds

Specifications:
Weight: 7 kg
Barrel Weight: 1.75 kg
Sight: Unertl telescopic, 15 power, magnesium fluoride coated lenses

Sight Length: 31.75 cm
Eye Relief: 75 mm
range: 400 m at night, 900 m during the day
cost: $1750 USD

Arctic .50 Sniper:

This potent sniper rifle is based upon the Canadian Long Range Sniper Weapon, or LRSW for short. It is made of lighter materials, and its overall size has been produced, while, with the other weapons developed by The Canadian Tundra, it fields increased accuracy and, in keeping with tradition, an enlarged magazine.

Armament:
Ammunition: Amax .50 cal match ball ammunition
Calibre: .50 cal
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds

Specifications:
Weight: 11 kg

A-13 Fragmentation Grenade:

The A-13 is the standard grenade of the Tundric Defense Forces, it is an upgraded C-13 grenade with an additional 65 grams of explosive.

Armament:
Filling: 250 g Comp B Explosive (Rdx / TNT)

Specifications:
Length: max, 92 mm
Diameter: 65 mm
Weight: 400 g
Body: pre-fragmented steel
Lethal Radius: 18 m
Casualty Radius: 22 m
Delay Time: 4-5 sec
cost: $75 USD

"Devastator" Anti-armour missile launcher:

Based on the potent Eryx missile launcher deployed by the Canadian Armed forces, the Devastator is a more powerful, though larger and heavier, version with increased range and damage capabilities. Sadly, due to the increased bulkiness of the round, the firing rate has been reduced to only 4 rounds a minute. It still fields all the equipment of the Eryx, although this version can only be fired from a tripod, and cannot be shoulder mounted like the Eryx.

Armament:
Missiles: Eryx tandem warhead HEAT
Propulsion: 2 stage, solid propellant rocket motor
Penetration: ERA + 1000 millimetres of armour
Rate of fire: 4 rounds in two minutes

Specifications:
Length: 1.45 metres (missile in case)
Range: 50 to 750 metres
Crew: 2 (gunner and loader)
Cost: $12,500 USD


A203 Grenade Launcher:

This 40mm grenade launcher is based on the M203, it is built using the latest manufacturing method at advanced factories, add to the fact that it is mass produced at a constant rate, it makes for a slightly cheaper alternative to the M203. OOC: Sorry, can't find stats on 40 mm grenades
range: 450 meters
cost: $325 USD


60mm Mortar:

The 60mm-mortar is an indirect fire support weapon used primarily by the infantry. The weapon is fielded in two configurations, the handheld version using the M1 base plate and the more accurate version with the A5 mount consisting of a base plate, bipod and C2A1 sight. A two person mortar crew can carry the weapon and several rounds of ammunition over long distances. Additional ammunition is normally carried in a vehicle or by the remainder of the infantry platoon. A tactical advantage of the mortar is its high trajectory, which allows the mortar to be fired from behind high cover, the suppression of targets behind high cover and the firing of the mortar over the heads of friendly troops without endangering them.

The weapon can fire 30 rounds per minute for short periods and 8 rounds per minute for sustained periods. In the handheld configuration it can be used against targets between 100 and 1500 metres away, the A5 mount extends this range to 2800 metres. The mortar can fire a variety of ammunition including high explosive (HE) rounds that produce a large number of lethal fragments, white and red phosphorus smoke rounds for making smoke screens and illumination rounds to light up the battlefield at night.

In the handheld configuration the mortar consists of a barrel, a base cap and a firing mechanism. These three parts are normally assembled into single unit. The mortar is loaded by dropping a round into the muzzle. The firing mechanism can be set to fire the round as soon as it reaches the bottom of the barrel or set to fire when operated by the soldier similar to a rifle trigger.

Vehicles:

Badger Engineering vehicle:

The Badger armoured engineering vehicle is designed to provide engineer support to the Tundric Defense Forces. It is capable of performing a wide range of tasks under battlefield conditions including dozing, ripping, excavating, craning, grappling, welding, cutting, winching, and towing.

The Badger EV is capable of dozing 270 cubic meters per hour with a maximum dozing speed of 8 km/h. The dozer blade is equipped with two ripper teeth that are used when backing up. The vehicle is also capable of excavating up to 200 cubic meters per hour when fitted with a 2 meter wide bucket. It can also be fitted with a smaller 1 meter-wide bucket with a capacity of 1 cubic meters.

The EV is capable of operating in a crane mode with a maximum lifting capacity of 8 tonnes. The excavator arm can be fitted with two grappling teeth for picking up large objects. The Badger is also equipped with an electric welding and cutting unit and a CAPSTAN winch. The winch as a pulling capacity of 40 tonnes and a cable length of 100 meters.

The Badger is capable of carrying and deploying the class 60 Track Way (portable road sections) as well as fascine (a large bundle of tubes used to fill in anti-tank ditches, creating a crossing site). The class 60 Track Way is carried on the dozer blade and is deployed by the winch. The fascine is carried on the back deck and is placed using the excavator arm with the grappling teeth.

The EV is powered by a V-12, twin super charged, 900 horsepower, multi-fuelled engine. It is equipped with an NBCD system that provides protection against nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. It is also equipped with eight smoke / HE grenade dischargers.

It is an upgraded version of the Canadian Badger, with superior capabilities and an enlarged engine.

Spartan MBT:

This main battle tank is, surprisingly, not based upon a canadian design. Instead, it is loosely based upon the Iron Cheetah MBT export which the Tundra acquired from Clan Smoke Jaguar in an armored division package. The chassis was redesigned, and the weapons replaced with similiar models produced in the tundra. All of the equipment mounted on the tank is the most advanced available to the Tundra, such as the new higher-efficiency engines. The tank's primary weapon is the 120mm cannon, while a .50 caliber machine on a 360 degree 'slider' mount allows for effective anti-infantry firepower. 2 banks of four grenade launchers are used to setup smoke screens, provide illumination at night for supporting forces, or are equipped with fragmentation grenades. Also included are a pair of twin devastator launchers redesigned for use on vehicles. These missile packs are excellent for taking care of enemy armour when up close and the main gun is either reloading or empty. Only limited numbers are available for export. It includes full NBC protection.

and link every picture?

(OOC: C-G's military does use a lot of Canadian Kit/weaponry, but they keep their full names in honour of their parent country.)

New M-pire order has been confirmed, weapons will be arriving very very soon.

OOC: Sorry about the pics, i'd like to post the ones i have on my comp up, but i cant get a hosting site where linking them actually works (ive tried two so far), so the ones up currently have bits of information that are for the original canadian weapon, not the arctic one. Canada-Germany, thanks for the link. And these vehicles are not renamed Canadian ones, their redesigned. Their stats were taken from the army website and changed then posted here as a redesigned weapon (as indicated in the text)

OOC: I'm aware that the Veh's weren't renamed, I was refering to the Man portable weaponry you had up. BTW: The "A-6", if it's based off the Canadian C-6, is actually a GPMG, "General Purpose Machinegun" or a Medium Machinegun, not a light. The C-9's were the lights.
16-11-2003, 10:13
Will you be selling the rounds meant fro a grenade launcher... CS Gas grenades. As my police need them for riot. If you do we'll take
50 grenade launchers and 1000 CS grenades
The Canadian Tundra
16-11-2003, 17:44
Canada Germany, i know about the C-6, the A-6 is based on the C-9, i wanted to put up the C-9, but had plans for making a new A-10, redesignated the A-9, so i had to change the C-9 designation A-6. Kazaa, we sell all types of munitions for our weapons. We can sell you the A203s, but you'll need rifles to fit them onto, i assume you have some already?
The Canadian Tundra
16-11-2003, 19:11
After a long and hectic time trying to get pictures up i've settled for posting a link to a list of them just before the actual weapons. Simply click the link, and choose the picture you want to view.
