Hello, and welcome again to the Triumviral store! Our newest delving into Tritanium has yielded an interesting result: With a complex polymer mixing, tritanium can be made that has only the most miniscule radiation! This means that the radiation of previous tritanium products has been eradicated!

However, due to the lack of support for the Entendre line, the Triumvirate has come up with a new product for all of you to buy!

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-10/61421/tritanium.JPG

This brand new armor has been developed solely for combat!

Specs:

Weight: 21 kg

Height: Available at sizes 5'6'', 6'0'', 6'6''

Endurance: This is where this armor truly shines. A soldier wearing this armor suit was witnessed as taking a direct hit with a grenade. The soldier was knocked to the ground from the force of the explosion, but was able to quickly get back up unharmed. Small-arms fire is literally meaningless to this armor. A full AK-47 clip was unloaded on this armor, to no effect. Sniper rifles are also useless. This armor is the ultimate [modern-tech] ground combat protection! Buy yours today!

Cost: $43,000 per suit

Model is equipped with a JaxusismCorp XR-1 rifle.

OOC: AK-47s don't use clips.
By direct hit with a grenade, do you mean you taped a grenade to the armor and then pulled the pin? What kind of grenade was it?

The president of w00tville is pleased with the results of tests conducted.

We wish to purchase 1,000 suits at the price of $43,000,000

**Money wired**

The president is so extatic with the purchase that reports say he is "dancing up a storm!"

*A boy scout walks up with a slingshot and shoots a rock at the armor. It shatters like glass, leaving the soldier quite embarrassed as he's wearing smiley face boxers.*

"Not so invincible after all!" he said, laughing. :P

OOC: Just a warning not to make ludicrous claims like that, or else customers will want their money back, and fast. Either that, or make a disclaimer that the suit won't protect from powerful explosives.

this is only armor?no hud no electronics or awareness boosts what so ever? and any decent protection can block the shrapnel from a grenade but even the bullet protection is not worth it since the AK rounds are puny and you didn't even to state the size of the sniper round. So with no advanced systems this is only a bulky piece of metal that only protects against 7.62 rounds or smaller. Your country certainly has quite lax testing methods.

We here at Mikosolf feel the same way, how can an unaugmented armor be sufficient for today's combat needs. If you want something to rip through infanty and light vehichles like the paper they should be look here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40509&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=820) (bottom). These babies support all things Anarresa mentioned and more, the price for these beauties is 4million per unit (.3% savings on orders of 750 or more, and .7% on orders greater than 1500). I will take telegrams or posts here, storefront soon to come!

OOC:

AK-47's do use clips...magazines. Yes, technically, clips means stripper clips used on older rifles like the SKS or M1 Garand...but the term "clip" has come into such wide usage as interchangable with the term "magazine", the two words are fully interchangable.

By direct grenade hit, I assume he means hit from a grenade launcher, such as the 40mm HE round fired by the M203.

the two words are fully interchangable.No!
Why Magazines are not Clips. (http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/clip.html)
Why do I keep closing [url] tags with [/quote]...?

a grenade launcher is the same as a grenade, just less shrapnel and longer range. So the armor still is horrible

Get over it Nianacio

A .50 cal anti-material sniper rifle like that used by the RL Canadian Army can punch a hole in many APCs; there is no way that field-practical, man-wearible armour can provide the protection you're claiming while still remaining modern-tech, as you claim.

Dammit, it's time's like these that make me wanna dance up a storm!

OLE!

Get over it NianacioShall I start calling cars car seats? Computers video cards? Shirts threads? That's basically what calling a magazine a clip is.

Our SN0-K00N3 Armor is much more durable. And very light. It also dispayes a HUD, and can integrate with all of our cheap, but powerful weaponry. To look at it, click here (www.freewebs.com/yourNSsuperstore/index.html) and scroll to the bottom:

Oh yippee, now i get to defend myself.

OOC: AK-47s don't use clips.

It was a standard impact hand grenade. And yes, we proceeded exactly as you implied. The suit protects against shrapnel grenades as well, for all who were asking below. An HE grenade was used in an early test phase, which resulted in structure damage that was not considered safe for testing with a human inside the suit.

:-| stfu. Obviously, I use the term ‘invincible’ lightly. Does ‘everyone’ love Raymond? In the entire world, will I not be able to find someone who does not particularly care for Raymond?

An M82A1 sniper rifle with 12.7 mm rounds was used.

I don’t believe we’re even selling the same thing. You’re selling a 10-ton vehicle, not armor. I’m selling close-combat body armor.

A .50 cal anti-material sniper rifle like that used by the RL Canadian Army can punch a hole in many APCs; there is no way that field-practical, man-wearible armour can provide the protection you're claiming while still remaining modern-tech, as you claim.

We’ve invested over 100 billion dollars over 8 years into developing the strongest polymer metal available. Ask Jaxusism if you wish to know more about the durability of the material; he’s helped in the development process of the entendre line.

And Triumvirate cant even respond. This only goes to show their incompetence and greed

I checked the post this morning at school, but didn’t have time to respond in the fashion I wanted too (see above). I checked again now for my second issue and was able to respond to it. I was expecting only to have to ship suits to others, not defend myself from accusations of godmodding and n00bish designs.

This is modern tech, not future tech. And you’re selling blasters and starships as well, so I assume you’re future tech.

I'd also like to apologize to W00tville for the delay in shipping.

OOC: And I'd like to apologize to anyone who felt I was being nasty.

~edited out per confusion~

I didnt consider you as being nasty. In fact, you were actually helpful.

That armour is near-future tech at best; there is nothing in existance iRL that could stop a .50 cal anti-material sniper rifle slug without being too heavy or cumbersome for use as field-servicible body armour.

If it can't be made with modern technology, it's not modern tech; in fact, it sounds like a pretty substantial leap in material technology.

I really think you need to take of the Invincable part because if I launched a Levlothian class space ship at your man and it hit him it would make a crater bigger than you can imagine and the guy would be vaporized (really wasteful) a orbital bombardment would work just as well. Also somebody is already selling Halo.

also a 155 mm uranium depleted shell would destroy him.

A.) I'm modern tech

B.) See my comparison to 'Everybody Loves Raymond' on the first page

C.) I realize that 'Invincible' is not completely accurate

D.) Do i need to go find another pic? I thought that the master chief pic looked like about what i was picturing.

your modern, i'm future

I still dont consider this armor worth the price because or the negitive impact it will have on awareness, it also seems to bulky to use properly and has a large unessary 'hump' on the back. I still stand by my position of this being a large expensive and deragatory in combat piece of military hardware. But by this i suggest you make improvements not to insult your nation.
